We

Set in the 26th century, Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" explores life in the tyrannical society of OneState, governed by the all-powerful Benefactor. Serving as a precursor to modern dystopian literature, the novel warns of the dangers of sacrificing individuality for the sake of collective ideals and unchecked technological progress. Clarence Brown's translation, based on the corrected text, brings to light a work that was suppressed for over 60 years before its publication in Russia in 1988.
