Book Overview

by Yevgeny Zamyatin (Author), Gregory Zilboorg (Translator), H. G. Wells (Author)

D-503 is a mathematician and citizen of One State, a totalitarian society whose inhabitants live passionless lives under the all-powerful 'Benefactor'. However, when D-503 discovers that he has an individual soul, everything changes. Set in the twenty-sixth century, "We" is the dystopian science fiction novel that inspired George Orwell's famous "1984" and was the first work to be banned by the Soviet censorship board. A frightfully thought-provoking dystopian novel not to be missed by fans of speculative fiction. Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a Russian author who wrote science fiction and political satire. Other notable works by this author include: "Robert Maier" (1922), "Gerbert Uells" (1922), and "On Literature, Revolution, and Entropy" (1924). Read & Co. is republishing this classic science fiction novel in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an Introductory Chapter from H. G. Wells' "The Revolution And Famine In Russia".

About Yevgeny Zamyatin
Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a Russian author of political satire. Arrested during the 1905 revolution, he was exiled twice from St. Petersburg before receiving amnesty in 1913. After Zamyatin completed We, his only novel, in 1921, it was attacked by party-line critics, including the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers. Unable to publish his work, Zamyatin was granted permission to leave Russia with his wife in 1931. They moved to Paris, where he died in 1937. Natasha Randall is a translator and writer living in New York City. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, St. Petersburg Times, The Strad magazine, and on National Public Radio.
