Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin[1] (Russian: Евге́ний Ива́нович Замя́тин, 20 January (Julian) / 1 February (Gregorian), 1884 – 10 March 1937), sometimes anglicized as Eugene Zamyatin, was a Russian author of science fiction and political satire. He is most famous for his 1921 novel We, a story set in a dystopian future police state. Despite having been a prominent Old Bolshevik, Zamyatin was deeply disturbed by the policies pursued by the CPSU following the October Revolution. In 1921, We became the first work banned by the Soviet censorship board. Ultimately, Zamyatin arranged for We to be smuggled to the West for publication. The subsequent outrage this sparked within the Party and the Union of Soviet Writers led directly to Zamyatin's successful request for exile from his homeland. Due to his use of literature to criticize Soviet society, Zamyatin has been referred to as one of the first Soviet dissidents.
First published in the Soviet 1920s, Zamyatin's dystopic novel left an indelible watermark on 20th-century culture, from Orwell's 1984 to Terry Gilliam's movie Brazil. Randall's exciting new translation strips away the Cold War connotations and makes us conscious of Zamyatin's other influences, from Dostoyevski to German expressionism. D-503 is a loyal "cipher" of the totalitarian One State, literally walled in by glass; he is a mathematician happily building the world's first rocket, but his life is changed by meeting I-330, a woman with "sharp teeth" who keeps emerging out of a sudden vampirish dusk to smile wickedly on the poor narrator and drive him wild with desire. (When she first forces him to drink alcohol, the mind leaps to Marlene Dietrich in The Blue Angel.) In becoming a slave to love, D-503 becomes, briefly, a free man. In Randall's hands, Zamyatin's modernist idiom crackles ("I only remember his fingers: they flew out of his sleeve, like bundles of beams"), though the novel sometimes seems prophetic of the onset of Stalinism, particularly in the bleak ending. Modern Library's reintroduction of Zamyatin's novel is a literary event sure to bring this neglected classic to the attention of a new readership.
作为“反乌托邦三部曲”中的第一部,俄国作家叶•伊•扎米亚京的《我们》,命运多舛。作品完成于1920年,1924年才以英译版在美国面世,俄文版50年代中期出现,仍然是在美国,在俄国正式出现,则迟至1988年。扎米亚京自1929年起便不再能发表作品,并遭受严重迫害。1931年,...
评分反乌托邦的部分不必再谈,谈的已经很多,自由与幸福。 俄国文学的传统其实显而易见,心灵、基督、反基督。 这一切本身极富冲击力,扎米亚京又是一个语言大师,没有过度的煽情,没有过度的描写,一个数学家眼中的世界和他的情感却让读者一览无余。 我想谈谈的是男主角“叛变革命...
评分扎米亚京的《我们》与奥威尔的《1984》及赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》并称为20世纪文坛“反乌托邦三部曲”,对后世有着深远的影响。不过相比之下,《我们》虽然成书最早,更为另两部作品直接提供了灵感,其知名度却低了不少,这也是由于此书在苏联一直遭禁,直到解体前才得出版之故...
评分扎米亚京没有声嘶力竭,相反他用他冷静的笔触描绘了这样一个美好的乌托邦联众国。没有自由,没有痛苦,没有嫉妒,没有人。只有时间表,只有精确如数学的幸福,只有没有拒绝的性,只有众号码们。 当D -503不再是个号码,他在和内心中的另一个自己搏斗。是亲爱的I勾引了他,不道...
评分我们是谁?是26世纪大一统王国的号码们,我们以失去自由的代价获得幸福。我们在大恩主的领导下,过着理性划一的生活,我们是人类的终极梦想。 是一部预言式的小说,其中关于人类的乌托邦?毋宁看作是一部反观现实的书更适合些。 如同叙述者“我”,号码D503担心的那样,写给前...
rationality与human nature的对抗
评分结尾出乎意料,看完后不免有些唏嘘。这本书是俄罗斯作家扎米亚金在1921年写成的,也算是反乌托邦作品的鼻祖了。乔治奥威尔的《1984》肯定是受到了这本书的启发,里面有不少其中的影子。书的情节松垮,但意义重大。对毫无感性的人类生活的描写,让人不寒而栗。周同学用catharsis来形容读后感,很有感,谢谢你带来这本好书。
