The Annotated We represents the first fully annotated translation
of Evgeny Zamiatin's classic novel in English. Generally recognized
as the first modern anti-utopian novel, Zamiatin's We has puzzled
scholars and critics alike, for it is both serious and playful,
full of games. Long considered to be enigmatic, it stands out as
unique among his works, and its importance is beyond doubt, for it
not only holds the distinction of being the first work of its kind,
but is also widely believed to have provided thematic elements for
the two most famous dystopian works of the twentieth century,
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's Nineteen
Eighty-Four. This new English translation employs language and
syntax that mirror the precision and economy of Zamiatin's Russian
in his "poem in prose." The commentary that accompanies the text
sheds light on Zamiatin's use of language as well as on the broad
array of allusions that mark it, while at the same time suggesting
many previously unacknowledged sources for the novel's playfulness.
