Description:

In a glass city composed of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of OneState live their lives without passion or agency. That is until D-503, a man tasked with bringing the Revolution to the stars, meets a remarkable woman . . . Supressed in Russia for decades, Zamyatin's dystopian masterpiece prophesised the worst excesses of the Soviet Union, while creating an enduring and vivid vision of what future societies might look like - a vision which would inspire George Orwell's 1984 and many subsequent dystopias.

Reviews:

Carla Baglieri (1 year ago)	09 Feb, 2025 Wow - the original dystopian novel. Zamyatin really could read the future. Love the future world he creates - all based on logic and mathematics. Of course religion is frowned upon, even though the similarities to Christianity are plain to see.
