"Angel of the Western Window" - the most significant work of the Austrian esoteric writer Gustav Mayrink. The author presents us his characters immortal: they live and act in the Shakespearean era, in the XX century and in the otherworld, where their true nature is revealed. At the center of the narrative is the fate of a real person English natural philosopher, mathematician, astronomer and alchemist John Dee, inextricably intertwined with the fate of his distant descendant, who eventually manages to dispel the spell of evil forces and in full consciousness to cross the threshold of otherworldliness. Hermetic symbolism, Kabbalah, spiritualism, and alchemy fill the novel.
In addition to the novels of other authors, "Angel of the Western Window" and "Green Face" Mairinka had a great influence on the work of M. Bulgakov, "The Master and Margarita" - it is, in fact, a variation on the themes of Mairinka: characters-twins, the motif of redemption, ironic epilogue.
