«El Golem» is the fantasy novel by Gustav Meyrink, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
In the Jewish ghetto of Prague, the jeweller Athanasius Pernath, marked by amnesia and dreams, sees the Golem, a clay creature from rabbinic myth that embodies the neighbourhood's suffering and appears every thirty-three years. The novel recreates a world of puppeteers, musicians and marginal characters in a dreamlike, oppressive Prague.

For readers of gothic fiction, mystery and classic fantasy, especially those interested in Central European literature of the early twentieth century.
Gustav Meyrink was the pseudonym of Gustav Meyer, an Austrian author, novelist, dramatist, translator, and banker, most famous for his novel The Golem. He has been described as the "most respected German language writer in the field of supernatural fiction".
