Published 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 begins to experience strange dreams. In these dreams, he lives the life of his doppelganger Athanasius Pernath – the owner of a hat that he mistakenly took instead of his own. Does Pernath exist in reality, or is he just a product of dreaming? Perhaps Pernath is the human embodiment of the clay monster Golem, brought to life through the kabbalistic spells of a rabbi? And does it really matter, if upon waking from the dream, people "become the prey of a new dream, deeper than the one they just left behind."
The book is published in an unabridged version. Enjoy Gustav Meyrink's mystical novel in its original language!
