The White Dominican: From the Diary of the Invisible One (in Ukrainian)
In The White Dominican (1921), a novel by renowned Austrian author Gustav Meyrink, mysticism, unearthly love, deep philosophy, and an “Eastern” flavor are intricately intertwined.
A mysterious blend of cultures, the soul’s yearning to escape its shell, the loss of a sense of reality, and the frenzied dance of the characters’ colorful lives—this is the world of prose created by the inimitable master of language, still capable of enchanting even the most discerning reader. The White Dominican is long free of sin and virtue, and therefore free of illusions. He is the towering summit rising from primordial depths; he is the garden, where the trees resemble us humans; he is the Great Wanderer, who descended from eternity into infinity—while we strive to ascend from infinity into eternity.
