Thea Von Harbou: Metropolis, Gebunden

Blurb

Metropolis by Thea von Harbou is a groundbreaking science fiction novel set in a futuristic city sharply divided between wealthy elites and oppressed workers. In the towering metropolis, industrial magnates live in luxury above ground while laborers toil in brutal underground factories. The story follows Freder, the son of the city's ruler, who discovers the suffering of the workers and falls in love with the prophetic Maria. As rebellion brews and technology spirals out of control, the novel explores class conflict, industrialization, social justice, and the need for compassion. A visionary dystopian tale, Metropolis remains a landmark of early speculative fiction.
