Product Description

From the Publisher
Review from The Sunday Times
' 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

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best works of fiction ever written!, 23 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This is an incredibly atmospheric book with a most powerful sense of place. It captures the strange thought patterns of dreams and is utterly captivating. Read it!

3.0 out of 5 stars I didn't understand this book at all, 26 Jun 2002
By A Customer
I found this book very hard going and difficult to follow. I only really began to understand what was happening at the end, which these days would have been seen as a cop-out. I think the clue as to what is happening is the word "expressionist" in the introduction. I'd be interested to see how it was turned into a film.
