The illegitimate son of an aristocratic politician and an actress, Meyrink set up as a banker in Prague. He achieved notoriety as a dandy while at the same time being a successful sportsman, winning prizes at rowing regattas. About to commit suicide, he chanced on a pamphlet about life and death, put his revolver away and started a lifelong interest in the occult. He unmasked false mediums and experimented with alchemy, drugs and clairvoyancy until an 'affair of honour' led him to challenge the whole of the Prague officer corps, setting machinations in motion which resulted in his being wrongly imprisoned. His bank collapsed and he became a writer, the author of "The Golem."Stories collected round him, so that it is often difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. "Vivo: The Life of Gustav Meyrink" presents the reader with both the remarkable life and the fantastic legend that was Meyrink, allowing him and those who knew him to speak in their own words wherever possible.

The Middle East is spinning out of control, but what does that mean to a simple fast-order cook in Central California? Everything—his family, his love life, his future, his purpose. And it may be that he means a great deal to the Middle East. Some are willing to kill him and others are willing to risk their lives to protect him. This adventure takes the reader to Turkey, Iran, and Arabia. Themes of historical religions of the Middle East, modern interpretations, truth, understanding, and what the future holds for this volatile region are interwoven throughout the book.
