El Golem Gustav Meyrink

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.
