After Evgeny Zamiatin emigrated from the USSR in 1931, he was
systematically airbrushed out of Soviet literary history, despite
the central role he had played in the cultural life of Russia's
northern capital for nearly twenty years. Since the collapse of the
Soviet Union, his writings have gradually been rediscovered in
Russia, but with his archives scattered between Russia, France, and
the USA, the project of reconstructing the story of his life has
been a complex task. This book, the first full biography of
Zamiatin in any language, draws upon his extensive correspondence
and other documents in order to provide an account of his life
which explores his intimate preoccupations, as well as uncovering
the political and cultural background to many of his works. It
reveals a man of strong will and high principles, who negotiated
the political dilemmas of his day-including his relationship with
Stalin-with great shrewdness.
