Description

The Golem by Gustav Meyrink

The Golem, reads like the anguished outpouring of a man who believes himself to have been terribly wronged, based on the horrific myth of a monster that springs to life and terrorises the Prague ghetto every 33 years. It’s extraordinary to consider that Meyrink was a contemporary of Kafka, though the novel contains a trial, a prison and a castle, Meyrink’s Prague is the antithesis of modernism: a superstitious, archaic world of alchemists, mystics and mysterious creatures that drift through life with no will of their own, animated by an invisible magnetic current like a bridal bouquet floating in the filthy water of the gutter.
