Metropolis – 100th Anniversary Edition

Description

A century after its original publication, Thea von Harbou’s Metropolis remains a visionary piece of science fiction that explores the conflict between classes, dehumanisation, and our relationships to our creations. In the dazzling yet oppressive metropolis of the future—where the elite reside above and the workers below—we follow the son of the ruler of the city, Freder, and the bringer of hope, Maria, as they seek to unite the heads, hands, and hearts of society in the face of technological manipulation and engineered civil unrest. This special 100th Anniversary Edition celebrates the legacy of Metropolis with a new translation that does justice to von Harbou’s vision and the iconic world she created.
