| Title | Kallokain |
| Description | A world-renowned dystopian novel by Swedish writer and poet Karin Boye. Kallocain describes a future society dominated by the idea of the complete subordination of the individual to the system, which, in turn, confronts an external enemy. The novel was written after the writer visited the Soviet Union and then Germany, both of which were then ruled by totalitarian regimes. The story is told from the perspective of a scientist in the totalitarian World State who invents a truth serum. His discovery embodies the idea of control and proves to be extremely important for the state. Karin Boye (1900-1941) was a writer, poet, journalist, and literary critic. Her name is associated with the second wave of Swedish modernism, and she occupies a special place in Swedish literature as an author of rare inner strength and a dramatic life story. Her writing is characterised by intense imagery and an almost painful honesty. |
