The Golem; [and], The Man Who Was Born Again: Two German Supernatural Novels (English and German Edition)

Paul Busson

Dover Publications

The White Dominican is Gustav Meyrink's most esoteric novel, and draws on the wisdom of a number of mystical traditions, the most important of which is Tao. It is set in a mystical version of the Bavarian town of Wasserburg, which sits on a promontory surrounded on three sides by the River Inn. The novel describes the spiritual journey of the simple hero, who, guided by a number of figures, escapes the 'Medusa's head' of the world to a transfiguration, through which he joins the 'living chain' that stretches to infinity. -- This is the novel which has been eagerly awaited by those who see Meyrink as not just a novelist, but as a mystic visionary who can tell them what lies on the Other Side.

The last years of the Habsburg monarchy saw a remarkable cultural flowering centered on Vienna and Prague: the music of Mahler and Schoenberg; the painting of Schiele, Klimt and Kokoschka; the work of Mach, Freud and Wittgenstein; the poetry of Rilke; the plays of Hofmannsthal; the stories of Kafka. One concern common to much of this work was to attack the nature of reality. and in this they prepared the way to fantasy, especially in the short story and the novel. This book explores this rich vein, with examples from the major writers as well as from the acknowledged masters of fantastic fiction, such as Gustav Meyrink, Karl Heinz Strobl, Paul Leppin. Leo Perutz, as well as Brod, Csokor and Werfel.

History

World

"A superbly atmospheric story set in the old Prague ghetto featuring The Golem, a kind of rabbinical Frankenstein's monster, which manifests iitself every 33 years in a room without a door. Stranger still, it seems to have the same face as the narrator. Made into a film in 1920, this extraordinary book combines uncanny psychology of doppelganger stories with expressionism and more than a little melodrama... Meyrink's old Prague - like Dicken's London - is one of the great creations of City writing, an eerie, claustrophobic and fantastical underworld where anything can happen." -- Phil Baker in The Sunday Times
