About this Item

Dust jacket. The novel, Golem Walks through Prague, is an evocative story of the the Golem's presence in the Jewish ghetto in Prague in the late 16th century. The Golem is the Jewish legend of a clay figure brought to life by magic. And it could be Jew or non-Jew, male or female (or both) and victim or villain. But modern readers can perhaps not rid themselves of the Golem story and think upon the Nazi destruction of Jewish culture in Prague, with its miraculous revival today. 113 pages. Plates. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £7.20.
