| Summary | "Das grüne Gesicht: Ein Roman" by Gustav Meyrink is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story likely explores themes of identity, fate, and the surreal aspects of life as experienced by its characters. The narrative unfolds in Amsterdam, introducing a foreigner who navigates the peculiarities of a local curiosity shop, encountering an array of bizarre characters and mystical elements. The opening of this novel introduces the main character, a well-dressed foreigner who stands indecisively on the streets of Amsterdam, caught in the throngs of locals. He steps into a peculiar shop, the "Vexiersalon" of Chidher Grün, where he observes a strange assortment of goods, including a paper mâché skull labeled as an oracle. As he interacts with various eccentric figures—a charming saleswoman and the enigmatic inhabitants of this vivid establishment—mysterious elements intertwine with his thoughts on existence and reality. The exploratory nature of the opening sets a contemplative tone as the protagonist grapples with feelings of alienation and the significance of his experiences amidst a fantastical backdrop.
