Summary: A great fictional look at 17th-century Prague
Comment: This book deserves to be much better known. I think it is one of the classics of 20th century European literature and a must for anyone who loves Prague, taking us back to the city of Rabbi Judah Loeb - the legendary creator of the mythical Golem - on the eve of the Thirty Years' War. The book might be of particular interest to fans of Ivo Andric (and similarly, fans of "The Bridge over the Drina" should enjoy Perutz's book). The atmosphere is somewhat similar, with the old bridge as a sort of silent witness to events related in a series of highly entertaining and - at their best - magical tales.

Summary: fascinating account of 16th century prague
Comment: This book is Leo Perutz' monument to his childhood home prague, a fascinating tapestry that brings together the stories of historical people such as Wallenstein as well as of fictional characters. Further more, it is a tribute to Jewish life, written after the catastrophy of WWII when the Jewish culture Perutz came from had been destroied. As always with this author the plot is developed magnificently and the language beautiful. Definitely recomended!
