Summary

Gustav Meyrink: Golem

Meyrink's expressionist novel "Golem" (1915), set in the ancient Prague ghetto, combines horror and humor, the mystical and the profane, into an incredible network of supernatural experiences. The jeweler Athanasius Pernath meets his shadow, an unusual supernatural force - the Golem - who, according to legend, once roamed the Prague ghetto. Gustav Meyrink places the legend of the Golem in the world of dreams "beyond the mirror" where, as Jorge Luis Borges says, "the horror is so palpable that it remains imprinted in the memory for years." Athanasius Pernath's experiences following his encounter with the Golem symbolize a mystical journey to answers to questions about the nature of God and man. The legend of the Golem has attracted many writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer and Elie Wiesel. Meyrink's "Golem" is the loudest literary version of that legend, the first significant expressionist novel and one of the most excellent works of the fantastic genre.
