Textul de pe ultima copertă
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."

Descriere
This is the novel that the film's screenwriter Thea von Harbou, who was director Fritz Lang's wife, and a collaborator in the creation of the film, wrote from her own notes. It contains bits of the story that got lost on the cutting-room floor.
