We. Zamyatin E.I.

“We” is an iconic novel by Evgeny Zamyatin, from which the very existence of the “Antiopian” genre is officially counted. Forbidden in the Soviet period, now it is considered one of the cult works of not only Russian, but also world literature of the twentieth century.

this novel about the "Society of Equal", in which the human person is reduced to "Numer". Everything is unified in it - clothes and apartments, thoughts and feelings. There is no family or strong attachments... Dmitry Bykov said well about this: “The author very accurately and convincingly described the utopia of the mind, closed in himself, doomed to loneliness, devoid of contact with the outside world. According to Zamyatin, the main tragedy is that a person can defeat the beast in himself, go to the pure kingdom of rationality, which will be destructive for humanity. ”
