More About The Golem and the Wondrous Deeds of the Maharal of Prague
Loved this book--mostly because it is the root of the Golem myths I've read about for so long. Can't wait for Prague next year to visit the synagogue of the Maharal of Prague. Llegit amb sensibilitat moderna s un llibre molt curis. El recomano als interessats en aquestes coses i en la creaci de mites populars.
