The Golem by Gustav Meyrink
A superbly atmospheric story set in the old Prague ghetto featuring The Golem, a kind of rabbinical Frankenstein's monster, which manifests iitself every 33 years in a room without a door. Stranger still, it seems to have the same face as the narrator. Made into a film in 1920, this extraordinary book combines uncanny psychology of doppelganger stories with expressionism and more than a little melodrama... Meyrink's old Prague - like Dicken's London - is one of the great creations of City writing, an eerie, claustrophobic and fantastical underworld where anything can happen. -- Phil Baker in The Sunday Times-

His reputation declined in his last years but now he is considered as one of the most important German language novelists of the 20th century. Dedalus has made all his major works available in English translation. In 2008 Dedalus Mike Mitchell's biography of Meyrink, Vivo.
