Description
In Russian for the first time.
A classic work of world literature.
The novel by Thea von Harbou, which served as the basis for the famous film by Fritz Lang “Metropolis,” was created simultaneously with the screenplay.
“Metropolis” is a science-fiction and philosophical parable full of biblical references. Against the background of the absence of detailed descriptions of technological progress, the author depicts a majestic picture of a technocratic society, where the mind of the great Metropolis governs the city’s life—and class conflict threatens to escalate into a bloody confrontation.
However, the ruler’s son, Freder, meets Maria, who predicts the arrival of the Mediator who will be able to resolve the problems of class struggle. The workers yearn for change, and Freder—who is in love with Maria and faithful to the people—decides to break with his father and find his own path. Will he dare to challenge the all-powerful ruler and bring his bold plan to life?
