The Metro trilogy imagines the Moscow subway system as humanity’s last refuge after nuclear war. In Metro 2033, the stations have become independent city-states with their own ideologies — communists, fascists, and mystics all competing for resources in the tunnels. A young man named Artyom must travel across the system to warn of a new threat.

Metro 2034 and Metro 2035 continue the story, expanding the world and darkening its politics. The series inspired the Metro video game franchise (Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Metro Exodus), which brought Glukhovsky’s underground world to a global audience. The database includes translations in Arabic and Polish alongside the original Russian and English editions.
