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.

評分初读此书,无俄文学一贯之连篇累帙,更无长读不止之人名地称,予冒昧揣想,系现代文学家族之一员,主题涉极权之象,极端工业,系蕴含深刻哲学思想之人类发展忧思录也。 继而观之,无长名系尤金氏有意为之,千年后之联合国,人人幸之,福之,号码代名,所谓:街上有不少号码散...
評分在书店收入《我们》,绝对是因为其与《一九八四》和《美丽新世界》一起被称为三大“反乌托邦”小说,断断续续,用了两周时间,也只是粗率得看了一遍,远不像最初看《一九八四》,让我在除夕和年初一中用了两天就看完。 也许是我对第一人称的叙述方式不太习惯,或者是因为之前看...
評分这书看的时间早,偶然看到有人提起,就忍不住凭着记忆写一些我最在意的东西。虽然大家都在强调它反乌托邦三部曲的名号,但和另两部比较的话,在我的排名中本书列倒数第一。 并非不喜欢,只是比起另两部这本有些东西更让我介意。也许是作者的背景和信奉的理想,与资本主义教育下...
