The Golem

Publication in German. «The Golem» – 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 mysterious Prague, where the main character begins... to experience astonishing dreams. In these dreams, 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 figment of the dream? Or perhaps, Pernath is the human embodiment of the clay monster Golem, brought to life through the cabbalistic spells of a rabbi? And does it even matter if, upon waking from a dream, people «become the prey of a new dream, deeper than the one they have just emerged from». The book is published in an unadapted version. Enjoy Gustav Meyrink's mystical novel in its original!
