Tünel

“I'm a worker too, tunnel men!” cried Allan. “A worker like you. I hate cowards! Go away, cowards! But let the brave remain! Work is not just a means of filling your stomach! Work is an ideal. Work is

the religion of our age!

Bernhard Kellermann, in this novel that had a great impact at the beginning of the twentieth century, invites those who follow the "religion of our age" to build a tunnel between Continental Europe and North America. While telling the story within the framework of the dream of creating, he also deeply questions the potential of capitalism to build and destroy.

Through the corridors of a huge tunnel construction trying to cross the ocean, the brutal social reality of the period, the deadly working conditions of the workers and the unstoppable profit motive of the capital that covets the people's pennies. The Tunnel, written by the German writer Kellermann in 1913, was translated into 25 languages in a short time and reached millions of readers. Some critics included it in science fiction and fantasy literature, and some evaluated it with its social realist dimension because it highlights harsh working conditions and criticism of capitalism.

There were also those who called Tunel a "technical-utopian novel". The novel, which has been adapted to the cinema four times, has been considered one of the most successful books of the first half of the twentieth century.

The tunnel… “Although it was built from sweat and blood, swallowed approximately nine thousand people, and brought an indescribable disaster to the world, it was there now Here!”
