Western Australia, 1900. A young British doctor arrives to work in the typhoid-ridden goldfields. Standing on the wharf in the sun's glare, he already begins to doubt why he's there. Throughout most of their childhood, twins John and Freddie Hunston have been inseparable. Even when Freddie goes off to fight in the Boer War, John follows, taking a position in the Royal Army Medical Corps; his objective being to protect his brother. However, his protection can only go so far, and when Freddie dies, John's sense of loss is matched only by his sense of failure. In an effort to fulfil Freddie's dying wish, and lay some of his ghosts to rest, John travels to the Australian goldfields. Here, he makes new friends, with histories and troubles of their own. He also discovers that the road to absolution is punishing, when it is paved with regret and guilt... and that even from half a world away, grief has a long reach. The Sudden Metropolis tells of man's avarice, and one man's atonement, in changing times and changing worlds... Above all it is a story of hope.

Metropolis, by Thea von Harbou, was first published in 1925 and formed the basis for Fritz Lang's 1927 silent film of the same name. Like the film, the novel is a classic in the science fiction genre. Unlike the film, the novel spotlights much more than class struggle. It also explores the dehumanizing aspects of technology with a plot riding on turbulent undercurrents of hubris, betrayal, and revenge.Every ten hours the machines of Metropolis roar for food, and the food is men. While the workers of Metropolis labor in hellish machine rooms deep beneath the city streets, the privileged elite, in their shining towers, lead lives of luxury. Among the fortunate sons of Metropolis no one is more privileged than Freder Fredersen, and no one is more revered, or more feared, than his father, Joh Fredersen. After an encounter with Maria, a spiritual leader for the oppressed workers of Metropolis, Freder begins to question how the workers in Metropolis are treated. Joh Fredersen decides to crush his son¿s sudden conscience regarding the underclass, along with Freder's growing infatuation with Maria, by portraying Maria as the leader of a murderous worker's rebellion. The Master of Metropolis, will do anything to keep from losing his only son, even condemn his city of fifty million souls to destruction.However, Joh Fredersen realizes too late that his son¿s willpower rivals his own. With the city falling into ruin around him, will the Master of Metropolis accept that he cannot command his son¿s love as easily as he commands the loyalty of others, or will his hubris condemn Freder and Maria to death along with Metropolis?

In a tragic vision of an advanced condition of planet earth is arranged the clamoring city of Metropolis where the towers ascend strangely high into the air. In the interim, down beneath those high rises possessed by the well off first class are the shocking machines running on 24 hour plans that keep the city going and the world class securely isolated from the revulsions of which they know close to nothing. City is represented by John Frederson, a blend of specialist and government official whose every day routine is characterized by his correspondence of requests to subordinates. Additionally involving the rich solace of the towers of Metropolis is Freder Frederson, child of the supervisor of the city. While the story may happen in an imminent future (around a century from when it is seen), it rapidly turn out to be certain that a few things never show signs of change. Offspring of the entitled are as yet characterized by their capacity to roll and waste: Freder invests his energy taking part in costly brandishing exercises or lolling the hours away by gardens on the tops of the towers while gazing at young ladies wearing altogether less garments than the young men. On this day, be that as it may, the verdant little housetop plant is all of a sudden invade by a group of hardscrabble children straight out of Hell's Kitchen and their medical caretaker who seems straight out of paradise. In any event that is the manner by which she appears to youthful Freder whose response to nurture Maria's odd attestation that the beggars are the siblings of those entitled youthful scions of society isn't moment expulsion from the mind that would be normal once she and the tykes are briefly constrained once more into their place behind the huge entryway intended to isolate the rich from the rabble.
