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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten at the end of World War II but not published until 1977 and long unavailable, \u003ci\u003eThe Stone Door\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"New York Review of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53781452063086,"sku":"9781681378947","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_45abe42e-cf3b-4e2c-b590-9d8790c0a0b0.jpg?v=1778944339","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/the-stone-door","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
