About this book

The Golem of Prague: A New Adaptation of the Documented Stories of the Golem of Prague by Gershon Winkler. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780910818254.

Experience one of the most startling and controversial metaphysical Jewish events of all time: the creation of a golem, a man crafted out of clay by the exalted Rabbi Yehudah Loevy ben Bezalel (the Maharal) of Prague to protect sixteenth-century Jews from persecution. The author skillfully captures the essence of the golem and examines its aftermath objectively. Features a dramatized adaptation of the documented adventures of the golem and includes a comprehensive overview of Jewish mysticism, black magic, demonology, miracles and science, plus a summary of other golems in Jewish history. Read it for pleasure as well as perspective.
