Sinossi

"The Golem" by Gustav Meyrink is a mesmerizing novel that blends Gothic elements with mysticism, set in the mysterious backdrop of Prague's Jewish ghetto at the beginning of the 20th century. 
The main protagonist, Athanasius Pernath, a gem engraver, receives a mysterious book for restoration one day. This event becomes the catalyst for a series of extraordinary occurrences that force him to confront his own demons and the enigma of his identity. As the story unfolds, reality intertwines with dreams, present with past, and mystical Jewish legends become entangled with the dark reality of Prague's ghetto. 
At the heart of the narrative lies the legend of the Golem - an artificial man created from clay by a medieval rabbi, who according to urban legends returns to Prague's streets every 33 years. However, in Meyrink's novel, the Golem becomes more than just a folkloric figure - it transforms into a symbol of the deeply rooted fears and desires of the ghetto's inhabitants.
