In purpurner Finsternis (Dystopie-Roman): Science-Fiction-Klassiker

The narrative critiques the obsession with royal lineage and ancestry, highlighting a character's disdain for such decadence. Instead, the emphasis is placed on the significance of one's actions and the impact on future generations. Michael Georg Conrad, a notable German Naturalist writer, explores these themes, suggesting that true value lies in the legacy one creates rather than mere noble heritage.
