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.
