In sixteenth-century Prague, Rabbi Judah Loew, the Maharal, creates a golem of clay to protect the Jews of the ghetto. When the creature gains consciousness, the force meant to bring peace turns against its creators. The novel interweaves fiction and reality, Kabbalah, Jewish memory of central Europe, and Renaissance tensions.

For readers of historical fiction and Jewish tradition, with an interest in the Golem legend and Kabbalah.
Polish and French novelist (born 1936)
