SUMMARY:Yevgeny Zamyatin\, We
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. \nYevgeny Zamyatin  was a Russian novelist\, playwright\, short story writer\, and essayist\, whose famous anti-utopia (1924\, We) prefigured Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932)\, and inspired George Orwell’s 1984 (1949). The book was considered a “malicious slander on socialism” in the Soviet Union\, and it was not until 1988 when Zamyatin was rehabilitated. In the English-speaking world We has appeared in several translations. \nYevgeny Zamyatin’s We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines\, ruled over by the all-powerful ‘Benefactor’\, the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity – until D-503\, a mathematician who dreams in numbers\, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD\, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom\, yet is also a powerful\, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown’s brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel\, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years’ suppression.
