The Golem Legends of the Ghetto of Prague by Chayim Bloch translated from the German by Harry Scheiderman
Publication: 1925 The Golem; Vienna Austria First Edition First Printing
A fascinating collection of Golem Legends. The stories compiled in this publication originally appeared in 1917 in "Oesterreichischen Wochenschrift". "One feels a kind of rapture in reading these stories. I think that the same longing for deliverance, which led our ancestors to the compiling of such beautiful tales, also transports us into a beautiful dream, makes us forget the terrible truth and thus we feel so happy in the reading of such tales!" - Dr. Isaac Alcalay, Chief Rabbi of Yugoslavia.
