Published in Germany to critical and commercial acclaim, it is set in Amsterdam, used as a symbol of European decadence: the city is ultimately destroyed. The Green Face has classic Meyrink features: * a mystical wedding * a galaxy of grotesque characters * the haunting atmosphere of the ghetto In an Amsterdam that very much resembles the Prague of The Golem, a stranger, Hauberisser, enters by chance a magician's shop. The name on the shop, he believes, is Chidher Green; inside, among several strange customers, he hears an old man, who says his name is Green, explain that, like the Wandering Jew, he has been on earth ""ever since the moon has been circling the heaven."" When Hauberisser catches sight of the old man's face, it makes him sick with horror, haunting him. The rest of the novel chronicles Hauberisser's quest for the elusive and horrible old man. 562809 1982 The Green Face (Decadence from Dedalus) total:19|5:7|4:9|3:3|2:0|1:0| 19 80 43 7 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sun Nov 08 19:02:49 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 19:03:16 -0800 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 4 0 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 09:03:04 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 19 09:16:25 -0700 2007 more...]]> 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 5 0 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Sun Dec 23 11:55:40 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 23 12:03:34 -0800 2007 more...]]> 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 5 0 false Wed Oct 22 17:27:34 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 06 10:17:21 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 4 0 false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Nov 11 20:37:19 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 11 20:37:19 -0800 2007 http://electric-pages.livejournal.com/35...]]> 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sun Nov 16 18:14:50 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 18:15:01 -0800 2008 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 3 0 false Tue Nov 24 01:30:11 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 01:35:09 -0800 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sat Nov 28 10:18:46 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 10:18:46 -0800 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sat Oct 31 23:05:09 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 23:05:09 -0700 2009 6917155 1 0 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1254092977m/6917155.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6917155-the-green-face 4 0 false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1992 Sun Sep 27 16:10:35 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 16:11:04 -0700 2009 1 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sun Sep 13 09:40:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 09:40:13 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 5 0 false Wed Sep 02 15:02:49 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:02:49 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 5 0 false Tue Jul 28 18:59:11 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 18:59:11 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Tue Jul 21 09:08:54 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 09:08:54 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sat Jun 13 06:03:41 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 06:03:43 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 5 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon May 11 05:00:52 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 05:01:05 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Tue Mar 31 21:36:50 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 21:36:52 -0700 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sun Mar 01 06:33:40 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 06:33:40 -0800 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Sat Feb 21 09:38:16 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 09:38:18 -0800 2009 575836 0946626928 9780946626922 18 7 4.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175942596m/575836.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575836.The_Green_Face 0 0 false Tue Feb 17 00:21:54 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 00:21:54 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=575836
