A forbidden fantasy book set in Bohemia at the end of World War I, which became a milestone in fantasy literature!

In the shadow of a Bohemian castle, at the end of World War I, a series of spectacular events take place, all during the so-called Walpurgis Night.

On this night, the veil separating the worlds weakens and the spirits of the dead are allowed to cross it. The night turns into an orgy of liberation and terror, a moment when the world is turned upside down and the servant and master can temporarily switch places.

The protagonists of the book are haunted by their own ancestors, with the dead returning symbolically and literally in a bizarre story of revolution and necromancy.

The aristocrats, victims of their morbid past, are surrounded by revolutionaries whose only motive is greed. The village fool sets the rhythm with a drum made of human skin. The crowd pours into the streets of Prague and the possessed march to crown a poor student Emperor of the World.

It is the Black Sabbath of the Witches. A night where all normalcy surrenders to the orgiastic intoxication of a bizarre transformation…

From the author of Golem, in its first translation into Greek, a work that became a milestone in fantasy literature, which was banned by the German Nazis.
