Transl. by Madge Pemberton of Der Golem by Gustav Meyrink, prev. pub. by Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1928.. Transl. by Prince Mirski and Thomas Moult of Die Wiedergeburt des Melchior Dronte by Paul Busson, prev. pub. by Wm. Heinemann, Ltd., London, 1927.. Ed. with a new introd. by E.F. Bleiler.
'The Golem, the most famous superatural novel in modern European literature, is the only major work in translation of the great satirist and supernaturalist Gustav Meyrink....The Man Who Was Born Again, by Paul Busson...Tyrolean and Viennese journalist and author, is also well-known as perhaps the finest adventure fantasy in early twentieth-century German literature....In both cases...extensive corrections have been made and much material restored (in new translation) that had previously been omitted. As a result the versions in the present volume constitute the first full English translations of these two important novels.'
