Der Golem: Ein metaphysischer Roman

Viac o knihe

Set in early 20th-century Prague, the story follows an anonymous narrator who, after reading about Buddha, drifts into a dream world. In this surreal state, he relives events from over thirty years prior in the Jewish quarter. Embracing the identity of Athanasius Pernath, a gem cutter and antiquities restorer, he navigates a blend of esoteric and mystical themes influenced by Theosophy, Jewish and Christian mysticism, and Buddhism. Meyrink's exploration delves into metaphysical existence and the supernatural, reflecting his philosophical beliefs.
