Description
Published in 1927 the classic novel by Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Edith Wharton.
Twilight sleep is the English translation of the German word Dämmerschlaf and is an amnesic condition characterized by insensibility to pain without loss of consciousness, induced by an injection of morphine and scopolamine, especially to relieve the pain of childbirth. This combination induces a semi-narcotic state which produces the experience of childbirth without pain, or without the memory of pain.
