This book is set in 1980 in the Republic of Britannula, which is a fictional island near New Zealand. It deals with euthanasia as a radical solution to the problem of the aged. The novel is in the form of a personal account written by the President of Britannula about the island's recent history. It has often been said that when the book came out Trollope had reached the age of 67. Interesting is the fact that this is the exact age at which all Britannulans are required by law to retire from their worldly affairs and begin a year of preparation for death.

De stille kracht (1900) is een boek van de Nederlandse schrijver Louis Couperus. Het behoort met Noodlot en Eline Vere tot zijn bekendste werken.

De Nederlanders op Java zijn weliswaar militair superieur, maar komen in contact met de mysterieuze Javaanse cultuur en zaken waar ze niets van begrijpen. De "stille kracht" die de Nederlanders tegenwerkt, is een symbool voor de mysterieuze Javaanse cultuur en het onafwendbare Javaanse verzet tegen de Nederlandse overheersing, dat minder dan 50 jaar na het verschijnen van het boek zou leiden tot de onafhankelijkheid van Indonesië.
