This traditional Jewish tale recounts the fabled origins of the Golem, a monstrous being created from a mixture of mud and magic, and its disastrous reign through Prague. The mystical overtones which stems from the presence of religious artifacts and European alchemy highlights the dangers of tempting powers beyond human control. A gouache and ink combination make up the soft and colorful illustrations which are the real highlights of the book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
In Prague a long time ago, there lived an emperor who believed in magic, and a rabbi who, it was said, could perform miracles. The emperor presented the rabbi with an antique spoon, but neither could foretell how the rabbi would one day use it. No library descriptions found. |

"A few years afterward the emperor died, One day after the death of his pet lion." This line confused me because a pet lion was not mentioned at all. Also the term "flower's fragence was the Angel of Death.
The last few pages..."& so today a golem might be anywhere.. or everywhere waiting to be brought back to life... or perhaps all that remains are the stories." Brings the folklore full circle as a story being told out loud. ( )
