This volume explores the life and work of Evgeny Zamiatin, whose
renown abroad has largely been shaped by his anti-utopian novel We,
completed in 1919-20. After his death in 1937, he seemed fated to
disappear into obscurity in the West, at the same time as he was
being airbrushed out of Soviet literary history at home. George
Orwell, who readily acknowledged that reading We had contributed to
his own ideas for 1984, together with Professor Gleb Struve, set
out to secure Zamiatin's reputation after the Second World War. It
would be sixty-five years after its initial publication that the
novel finally became available to Russian readers at home, at the
very end of the Soviet era. Only now has We been recognized in
Zamiatin's own country as a defining text, warning of the political
and technological dangers of the coming century.
