The Golem

Edition in German. «The Golem» is a recognized masterpiece of expressionist literature that brought Austrian writer Gustav Meyrink worldwide fame. Written in the genre of magical realism, the novel transports the reader to the mysterious Prague, where the main character... is visited by astonishing dreams. In them, he lives the life of his double, Athanasius Pernath – the owner of a hat that he mistakenly took instead of his own. Does Pernath exist in reality, or is he merely a product of a dream? Or perhaps, Pernath is the human embodiment of the clay monster Golem, brought to life through the cabalistic spells of a rabbi? And does it matter if, upon waking from the dream, people «become prey to a new dream, deeper than the one from which they have just emerged»? The book is published in an unadapted version. Enjoy Gustav Meyrink's mystical novel in the original!
