The Green Face (German: Das grüne Gesicht) is a 1916 novel by Gustav Meyrink.[1] The book is set in Amsterdam and opens with a stranger visiting a peculiar magic shop, host to a number of unusual customers. One has a green face, which horrifies and haunts the stranger, so that he attempts to track down the man.[2] Like his previous work The Golem, the book makes use of the Wandering Jew trope.[3][4]
