El Golem

Halfway between expressionism and horror stories, Golem is a classic of 20th century fantasy literature and one of the genre's most unique novels. The work takes place in the last days of the Jewish ghetto in Prague, shortly before its demolition began to improve the living conditions of its inhabitants. There we find Athanasius Pernath, the protagonist and a Jewish teacher who, due to some type of disorder, has forgotten his past.

Gustav Meyrink went through a life crisis at 24 years old and was about to commit suicide. An illegitimate son of Baron Karl Warnbühler and actress Maria Meier, he was baptized in Vienna as Gustav Meier, and only much later, when he became a famous person, the paternal family offered him to recover his surname, which he rejected.
