Synopsis We (A Dystopian Science Fiction Classic) - The Unabridged Original 1924 Edition by : Yevgeny Zamyatin

We is a dystopian novel which is set in a dystopian future police state. D-503 lives in the One State, an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which allows the secret police/spies to inform on and supervise the public more easily. The structure of the state is analogous to the prison design concept developed by Jeremy Bentham commonly referred to as the Panopticon. Furthermore, life is organized to promote maximum productive efficiency along the lines of the system advocated by the hugely influential F. W. Taylor. People march in step with each other and wear identical clothing. There is no way of referring to people save by their given numbers. Males have odd numbers prefixed by consonants; females have even numbers prefixed by vowels. Along with Jack London's The Iron Heel, We is generally considered to be the grandfather of the satirical futuristic dystopia genre. Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a Russian author of science fiction and political satire. Due to his use of literature to criticize Soviet society, Zamyatin has been referred to as one of the first Soviet dissidents.

Synopsis We (A Dystopian Science Fiction Classic) - The Original 1924 Unabridged Edition by : Yevgeny Zamyatin

Yevgeny Zamyatin's 'We' is a groundbreaking work of dystopian science fiction, originally published in 1924 in Russia. The novel is set in a futuristic society where individuality is suppressed, and citizens are referred to by numbers rather than names. Zamyatin's literary style is characterized by its experimental narrative structure, including diary entries, letters, and mathematical equations, all of which serve to highlight the dehumanizing effects of a totalitarian regime. 'We' is often considered the precursor to other classic dystopian novels such as George Orwell's '1984' and Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' due to its exploration of themes such as surveillance, conformity, and the struggle for personal freedom. Zamyatin's work is a powerful commentary on the dangers of a society ruled by logic and control, and its relevance in today's world is undeniable. This unabridged edition of 'We' offers readers the chance to experience the full impact of Zamyatin's original vision. Fans of dystopian literature and those interested in exploring the roots of the genre will find 'We' to be a thought-provoking and visionary masterpiece.

Synopsis We by : Yevgeny Zamyatin

The exhilarating dystopian novel that inspired George Orwell's 1984 and foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years' suppression.
