O tej e-knjigi
A gripping historical saga of rebellion against the machine.
In 1812, as war rages with Napoleon, English mill-masters experiment with a new factory system, acquiring machines that replace men. A young worker leads the Luddites, attacking mills and smashing machines. With increased assaults and even murder, North England feels the grip of terrorism. Government agents attempt to suppress the rebellion.
Against the Machine unveils the rank exploitation that marked the Industrial Revolution. Set in Yorkshire, England, it follows diverse characters caught in this conflict, exploring themes of social injustice, economic inequality, and the human cost of progress. Will the Luddites succeed in their fight, or will the relentless march of progress crush them?
