Více o knize
Set on the fictional island of Britannula, the narrative explores a controversial societal practice where citizens must retire and face death at 67 to prevent overcrowding. President John Neverbend champions this 'Fixed Period,' believing it addresses pressing societal issues. However, as his friend Gabriel Crasweller approaches his 67th birthday, Neverbend's convictions are challenged. The novel delves into themes of aging, government control, and the ethics of euthanasia, using satire to critique the political and social norms of Trollope's time.
