This city of the future encompasses two worlds: that of the hedonistic ruling class and that of a segregated subculture, toilers in a mechanized underworld who labor to provide the rich with their pleasures. When a charismatic leader arises, she seeks a savior to unite the disparate social orders. "Between the brain that plans and the hands that build," she declares, "there must be a mediator―the heart." Thea von Harbou, creator of the screenplay for Fritz Lang's iconic 1927 film, wrote this novel to expand upon the movie's ideas and concepts. Vivid in description, rich in characterization and symbolism, the story draws upon ancient myths to form a compelling vision of the future. Noted science-fiction authority Forrest J. Ackerman hailed the book as "a work of genius," and a century after its initial publication Metropolis continues to captivate readers.

Metropolis

Roman

By: Thea von Harbou

Joh Fredersen, ein Großindustrieller, ist Herr über Metropolis, die glitzernde Stadt der Zukunft. Die Reichen vergnügen sich in den Freizeitgärten der Oberstadt, während die Arbeiter in der unterirdischen Stadt ein erbärmliches Leben fristen müssen. Freder Fredersen, Sohn des Metropolis-Bosses, trifft eines Tages Maria, eine Frau aus der unterirdischen Stadt. Er verliebt sich in sie und lässt sich von ihr in die Unterwelt führen. Sie wird von den Arbeitern respektiert und verehrt. In der Armensiedlung wollen die Arbeiter nicht mehr länger im Elend leben. Es kommt zum Aufstand: Wissenschaftler Rotwang, ehrgeizig und dem alten Fredersen spinnefeind, verschleppt Maria und konstruiert eine mechanische Doppelgängerin, die die Arbeiter zur Revolution aufhetzt ... Thea von Harbous Zukunftsroman - die Aufhebung von Klassengrenzen in einer Volksgemeinschaft imaginierend - und Liebesgeschichte in einem inspirierte Fritz Lang zu seinem filmischen Meisterwerk.
