About this book
In a time when societal norms were being challenged, "The Fixed Period" by Anthony Trollope presents a provocative exploration of mortality and governance. Set in the fictional colony of Britannula, the narrative revolves around the radical idea of instituting a predetermined lifespan for its citizens, raising questions about autonomy and the ethics of life extension. Through sharp satire, Trollope examines the implications of this Fixed Period, where the state mandates an early death for those who reach a certain age, reflecting on the value of human life and the role of authority. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this thought-provoking novel invites readers to consider the balance between societal welfare and individual rights.
