Résumé : A mysterious figure looms over the streets of Prague, a city steeped in legend and mysticism. The Golem, a creature born of clay and ancient rituals, becomes the focal point of Gustav Meyrink's enigmatic narrative. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Prague, a city where the past and present intertwine, this tale delves into the depths of human consciousness and the supernatural. The protagonist, Athanasius Pernath, a jeweler by trade, finds himself ensnared in a web of intrigue and existential dread. As he navigates the labyrinthine alleys of the Jewish ghetto, Pernath encounters a cast of characters whose lives are as intertwined as the cobblestones beneath their feet. Themes of identity, reality, and the metaphysical are woven throughout this psychological exploration, challenging the reader to question the nature of existence itself. Meyrink's narrative is a tapestry of gothic horror and philosophical inquiry, inviting readers to ponder the boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal. Through the lens of Pernath's experiences, we gain insight into the human psyche and the eternal struggle between light and shadow. This book offers a journey into the unknown, where every turn of the page reveals a new layer of mystery and introspection.
