El gólem i els fets miraculosos del Maharal de Praga

Book presentation

Thursday, April 10,

Call de Girona

First presentation of the book El gólem i els fets miraculosos del Maharal de Praga translated to catalan by Manuel Forcano.

This collection of interrelated stories about a sixteenth-century Prague rabbi and the golem he created became an immediate bestseller upon its publication in 1909. So widely popular and influential was Yudl Rosenberg's book, it is no exaggeration to claim that the author transformed the centuries-old understanding of the creature of clay and single-handedly created the myth of the golem as protector of the Jewish people during times of persecution.

Organizes: Patronat Call de Girona, whithin MOT programme, the literature festival from Girona and Olot.
