Built in layers like a puzzle box, it is the tale of two people, of love and the Zodiac and the Kabbalah, of Transylvania and Mesopotamia converging at the Caucasus, of a mad Hungarian King named Böles Kilary and of a woman’s discovery of an initiatory code that leads to a Cyclopean obstacle, to love, self and awareness, to the great stone door of Kescke and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten at the end of World War II but not published until 1977 and long unavailable,  The Stone Door  is at once a celebration of the union of the surrealist painter Leonora Carrington and her husband, the Hungarian-born photographer Chiki Weisz, and an argument for the unification of the male and the female as a means of liberating the human race.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924040450293,"sku":"YSL51087","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/91kyr83QT7L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672407","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0cpxt78pp","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
