Die Republik des Südkreuzes: Novellen

In a remote corner of the planet a peculiar nation has risen from the ice‑bound factories of the South Pole. Its capital, the “Star City,” sits at the very point where the Earth’s axis meets the surface, a place where meridians converge and every building glows with electric light beneath a permanent roof. The climate is engineered to stay constant, the streets forever bright, and massive fans churn the frigid air, creating a surreal urban landscape that feels both futuristic and otherworldly.

The collection of novellas explores the lives of the Republic’s inhabitants as they navigate this stark, controlled environment. From the quiet devotion of two sisters in an underground cell to the haunting reflections of a survivor waking from a nightmare, each story offers a glimpse into a society shaped by ambition, isolation, and the lingering trauma of a great catastrophe. The narratives blend careful observation with a touch of the uncanny, inviting listeners to contemplate the cost of progress in a world where nature and technology have been forced into an uneasy partnership.
