The Golem is a novel by Austrian author Gustav Meyrink. It was published in serial form from 1907 to 1914, eventually becoming his most popular and successful work. It is also considered one of his most accessible works, which is to say something given the copious amounts of Mind Screw this novel contains.The novel tells the story of an unnamed narrator interested in misticism that, by accidentally swapping his hat in the cathedral of Prague with a man named Athanasius Pernath, relives part of his life thirty years earlier in a dream. At this point, Pernath is a glum jeweler of dubious sanity in his forties, who spent years in a madhouse due to some unspecified trauma and was clinically hypnotized into forgetting his previous life for his own good. Pernath then gets entangled with a complicated story revolving around the Greedy Jew Aaron Wassertrum and his nemesis the Magical Jew Schemajah Hillel, in whose course he finds a turbulent love coming from his past and a string of supernatural experiences related to the ghostly Prague Golem.Praised by people as varied as Franz Kafka and H. P. Lovecraft, The Golem is a wonderful puzzle of crime, misery, Kabbalah and even Buddhism, where the lowest points of life and sheer insanity mix up with mystic planes and realities. It had the effect of re-popularizing the legend of the Golem, leading to the 1914 film The Golem, even although it only briefly touches upon the legend and no clay monster actually appears in the novel.This work contains examples of: | |
