Cosmopolis - Thryft
Cosmopolis - Thryft

Capitalist odyssey through a dystopian Manhattan.

Cosmopolis offers a unique perspective on the life of a multi-billionaire, revolving around themes of capitalism, American dream, and the general sense of detachment. It's a great read for anyone looking for a deeply intellectual and challenging experience. DeLillo's writing style is sharp and incisive, and the characters' stark worldviews are sure to leave an impression on the reader. Cosmopolis is a must-read for those interested in dystopian literature, modern society, and the human condition.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
