Krátky popis
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.
