The mysterious, fabulously wealthy Maharajah of Eschnapur kidnaps famous architect Michael F rbringer and offers him unlimited resources to build a tomb to exceed the grandeur of the Taj Mahal. But the calculating, all-powerful prince is not what he seems, and the commission is actually the centerpiece of a diabolical murder plot. An unwilling journey into the heart of darkness begins F rbringer's descent into a sinister, dream-like India, where he is imprisoned in a labyrinthine palace full of dark secrets and is ultimately forced to run for his life. Although filmed three times, Thea von Harbou's mystery-suspense-fantasy is presented here in English for the first time since its original publication in 1918.
Author Biography
Novelist, Screenwriter, Thea von Harbou (1888 - 1954) was a powerhouse of creativity during her life. She is best known today for the screenplays she created with and for the German-American director Fritz Lang between 1920 and 1933, including arguably the first two modern, feature-length science fiction movies ever made: Metropolis (1927) and Woman in the Moon (1929). She wrote The Indian Tomb in 1917, and it was a sensation in Germany, reprinted numerous times, and selected to be adapted as a film three times over four decades.
