Golem Book Description

Late 19th century: Prague, Jewish Quarter. Precious stone cutter Athanasius Pernath always sees the same person in different stages, among strange hallucinations, after a mysterious visitor. Or did he encounter the Golem, a legendary creature said to appear in the Jewish Quarter every 33 years?

Pernath, whose life is turned upside down after this encounter, moves in a web of intrigues, mysterious events, shadow selves and delusions, while discovering layers of her own self that she had not been aware of until that moment.

Gustav Meyrink's work Golem, which takes its place among the classics of fantasy literature, is a masterpiece in which the layers of past and future, conscious and unconscious, reality and dream, soul and body, world of objects and metaphysical universe are gradually intertwined, and the uncanny is masterfully woven into every line.
