Synopsis:

Its central idea grew from the rumors of truth drugs that ensured the subservience of every citizen to the state.
About the Author: Karin Boye (1900-1941) was a Swedish poet and novelist whose suicide in 1941 amid the shambles of a war-racked Europe reflects the fate of a whole generation of writers. Her first novel, Astarte, appeared in 1931.
