A seminal work of dystopian fiction that 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 R&. This ” Penguin Classics” edition is translated from the Russian with an introduction by Clarence Brown. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful ` Benefactor`, the citizens of the totalitarian society of One State live out lives devoid of passion & 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 & was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell`s ”1984” & Aldous Huxley`s ” Brave New World”. It was suppressed for many years in Russia & remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting & 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. Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a naval engineer by profession & writer by vocation, who made himself an enemy of the Tsarist government by being a Bolshevik, & an enemy of the Soviet government by insisting that human beings have absolute creative freedom. He wrote short stories, plays & essays, but his masterpiece is ” We”, written in 1920-21 & soon thereafter translated into most of the languages of the world. It first appeared in Russia only in 1988. If you enjoyed ” We”, you might like George Orwell`s ”1984”, also available in ” Penguin Classics”. ” The best single work of science fiction yet written”. (Ursula K. Le Guin, author of ” The Left Hand of Darkness”). ” It is in effect a study of the Machine, the genie that man has thoughtlessly let out of its bottle & cannot put back again”. (George Orwell, author of ”1984”).

This book was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2014. Rosemary`s young, just started college, & she`s decided not to tell anyone a thing about her family. So we`re not going to tell you too much either: you`ll have to find out for yourselves, round about page 77, what it is that makes her unhappy family unlike any other. Rosemary is now an only child, but she used to have a sister the same age as her, & an older brother. Both are now gone
- vanished from her life. There`s something unique about Rosemary`s sister, Fern. & it was this decision, made by her parents, to give Rosemary a sister like no other, that began all of Rosemary`s trouble. So now she`s telling her story: full of hilarious asides & brilliantly spiky lines, it`s a looping narrative that begins towards the end, & then goes back to the beginning. Twice. It`s funny, clever, intimate, honest, analytical & swirling with ideas that will come back to bite you. We hope you enjoy it, & if, when you`re telling a friend about it, you do decide to spill the beans about Fern
- it`s pretty hard to resist
- don`t worry. One of the few studies Rosemary doesn`t"e says that spoilers actually enhance reading.

We

We takes place in a distant future, where humans are forced to submit their wills to the requirements of the state, under the rule of the all-powerful Benefactor, and dreams are regarded as a sign of mental illness. In a city of straight lines, protected by green walls and a glass dome, a spaceship is being built in order to spearhead the conquest of new planets. Its chief engineer, a man called D-503, keeps a journal of his life and activities: to his mathematical mind everything seems to make sense and proceed as it should, until a chance encounter with a woman threatens to shatter the very foundations of the world he lives in. Written in a highly charged, direct and concise style, Zamyatin`s 1921 seminal novel - here presented in Hugh Aplin`s crisp translation - is not only an
indictment of the Soviet Russia of his time and a precursor of the works of Orwell and the dystopian genre, but also a prefiguration of much of twentieth-century history and a harbinger of the ominous future that may still lay ahead of us.
