44 Letters to Gustav Meyrink

Alois Mailander

Alois Mailander (1843 -1905), a Christian mystic, was a personal guide in inner life for many artists from the Munich and Vienna milieu.
Mailänder advocated a method that should awaken "the inner word" in those who accepted it. The letters from Mailander presented here are a valuable personal testimony of a person about whom much is conjectured and yet so little is known.
