We

Visionary dystopian tale of rebellion and control.

"We" isn't just a novel; it's a historical whisper and a chilling prophecy. If you're into dystopian narratives, Zamyatin's work is a must-read not only for its influence on the giants like Orwell but also for its own literary merits. The language, the structure, it's not just a story—it's a uniquely envisioned world that grips you with its rational horror and poetic resistance to oppression. Plus, it's a classic that has stood the test of time, resonating deeply with anyone who cherishes their individuality.

Description

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.
