Helden des Dampfes

by Karl May

''Helden des Dampfes'' (Heroes of Steam) is a collection of three essays by Karl May, originally published in the journal ''Schacht und Hütte'' (Shaft and Hut). The essays were intended for an audience of miners, foundry workers, and machine operators and explore the role of steam-powered technology in the industrializing world of the 19th century. May delves into the technological innovations driving industrial progress, highlighting the transformative power of steam engines and their applications in mining, manufacturing, and transportation. The essays were originally serialized in ''Schacht und Hütte,'' a journal May edited and contributed to during its brief run in 1875-1876.
