The Golem (European Classics)

A remarkable work of horror, half- way between Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Frankenstein. --The Observer

The Golem remains Meyrink's most visionary satisfying work. He was skilled at transforming imagery drawn from hermetic, religious and folklore traditions into startling symbols. --Michael Saler in The Times Literary Supplement

Gustav Meyrink uses this legend in a dream-like setting on the Other Side of the Mirror and he has invested it with a horror so palpable that it has remained in my memory all these years. --Jorge Luis Borgea
