Schwartz: Gabriel’s Palace (1994)

Gabriel’s PalaceMagdelene, a blog dedicated to “Prayers and Reflections: Spiritual Inspirations from many traditionsposted introduction and two very short stories (related to the Golem/Maharal) from Howard Schwartz‘s   collection of Gabriel’s Palace: Jewish Mystical Tales. The publisher’s (Oxford University Press) page lists the dozens of sources, eras and areas Schwartz collected the 150 stories for this book. Reading either the blog entry or the four and half stories available at Amazon I have to say that the style is delightful. It shows that Schwartz, who also wrote 8 children’s books, is a master of both language and content. This is a fun and deep collection.
