KALLOCAIN

The world-famous novel by Swedish writer Karin Boye "Kallocain" stands alongside such 20th-century dystopias as George Orwell's "1984", Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451". In the Great Empire, a country of triumphant totalitarianism, lives a talented... chemist Leo Kall. One day he develops a drug called "kallocain", a kind of truth serum that helps uncover the criminal secrets and plots of the Empire's inhabitants. But unfortunately, the main character does not take into account that secrets can be not only seditious thoughts about the system, but also something more - what is inside a person, all his feelings and desires. And not always will this truth be for the good - there are things that are better not to know...
