| Summary | "Mene tekel! Eine Entdeckungsreise nach Europa" by Arnold von der Passer is a speculative fiction work written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a future where a flourishing, socialist state has emerged in Africa, named the Freilandstaat, which contrasts sharply with the devastated and desolate state of Europe. The book delves into themes of societal transformation, exploring visions of a dystopian Europe versus an idealized socialist community, all while depicting various characters grappling with the implications of these changes. The opening of the narrative sets the stage in the year 2398, where the Freilandstaat celebrates its 500th anniversary with a grand event in the capital, Thomasville. At this celebration, Professor Bellmann delivers a speech reflecting on the achievements of their society and hints at the ominous state of Europe, hinting at its decline and the abandoned colonies. Following the celebration, the Freiland fleet embarks on a journey to re-establish contact with Europe, only to discover the shocking ruins of formerly thriving cities like Hamburg, now overrun by nature and devoid of life. This juxtaposition serves as a stark commentary on the consequences of capitalism and the hope embodied in the Freilandstaat's socialist ideals. As the expedition progresses, the characters face challenges that further emphasize the transformation of both continents, framing the narrative's exploration of societal values and the human condition.
