'The Eye of God' is Friedrich Halm's powerful Gothic tale of a mediaeval Styrian knight's obsession with regaining his family's lost power and prestige and his sacrilegious assault upon a Byzantine icon of 'God's Eye' in his attempt to defy the Divine and reclaim the opulence and might which he believes should rightly be his. This act of desecration of a holy icon at first seems to bring a positive change of Fortune, but the final moral and spiritual implications are immense and far from welcome ... This is arguably the Austrian writer, Friedrich Halm's, richest work of literature. It was written in 1826 and explores the themes of an obsessive 'idée fixe' of personal power and secular greatness vs. the true, lasting happiness which lies in the mystic depths of the human soul. This (partly true) story tells of one man's misguided assault upon God for the perceived injustices he suffers, and the consequences of that blasphemous challenge. This is the first-ever English translation of Friedrich Halm's 'The Eye of God'. Gothic Horror
