CARRINGTON LEONORA THE STONE DOOR

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.
