We. Novel. Story. Stories. Zamyatin E.

The novel “We” of the Russian writer Evgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1884–1937) is one of the first anti -utopias in the world. This is not just a satire on what is happening in Russia in the 1920s, it is a model of relations between the totalitarian state and personality, order and chaos, regulation and creativity, mind and feelings. A strict routine of life, the same form of clothing, “number” instead of names, equalizing all people, their thoughts and feelings - this is life in the distant future. But is it possible to limit the freedom of a thinking and feeling person?

The collection also includes the story “County”, in which the author discusses the problems of the provincial hinterland, the “English” story “Islanders” and selected stories.
