We (zamiatin's Works Collection)

About This Novel

Zamyatin's collection of novels includes the writer's most famous masterpiece "We" and three early works: "Remote County", "Islander" and "The Man Catcher". "Remote County" was the first work that won Zamyatin a reputation. The image of "animal nature that ignores morality and is greedy" described in it is still praised by people today. The two novels "Islander" and "The Man Catcher" were written in the last two years of the writer's stay in the UK, so these two novels also have a "British accent". In these two works, the writer criticized the lifeless life in Russia in "Remote County", mercilessly lashing out at the so-called mechanical and meaningless life in the world of Western civilization. These works also laid the foundation for the subsequent creation of "We". "Us" is well known as the first part of the "Dystopian Trilogy", but in addition to the dystopian elements, the novel also clearly discusses and analyzes the protagonist's adventurous spirit. Psychology and philosophy, love and industry are also the structural themes of the novel. Rather than saying that the characteristics of utopian or dystopian themes gave birth to Zamyatin's imagination, it is better to say that the wild imagination is the result of the author's own efforts to escape the gravity of reality, and it is also another large-scale artistic experiment for him to test the correctness of various ideas. Rather than saying that the laws of the future world and the expected brilliant achievements of scientific and technological development are the readers' points of interest, it is better to say that the conflicts caused by the protagonist's mental imbalance really hit people's hearts. Because of this, these novels, which were written more than a hundred years ago, are not only still timeless today, but have even brought more useful enlightenment to people.
