The Green Face
"Of the volumes available to the English public, The Green Face, first published in 1916, is the most enjoyable. 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. In an Amsterdam that very much resembles the Prague of The Golem, a stranger, Hauberisser, enters by chance a magicians shop.
The face haunts him. When Hauberisser catches sight of the old mans face, it makes him sick with horror. The rest of the novel chronicles Hauberissers quest for the elusive and horrible old man." Alberto Manguel in The Observer
