SYNOPSIS
Ancient Mesopotamia, the Zodiac, and the land of the dead feature in this wildly surrealistic adventure story—Leonora Carrington’s revolutionary second novel, long out of print.
The Stone Door is an omen, an incantation, and an adventure story rolled into one. 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.
Written 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Leonora Carrington
Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) arruinou os sonhos da família, que a queria debutante numa Londres cinzenta, para abraçar a vida mais colorida dos surrealistas de Paris. Fugiu da França ocupada e travou uma luta inglória para salvar da prisão o seu amante, Max Ernst. Internada num hospício espanhol, descreveria esta experiência no livro Em Baixo (1988). Foi no México que encontrou refúgio duradouro e ambiente propício para a sua imaginação prodigiosa. Uma das últimas surrealistas, dedicou-se à pintura, à escrita e à escultura até à sua morte, legando-nos uma obra visionária e plena de criatividade.
