A seminal work of dystopian fiction that foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia, Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. This "Penguin Classics" edition is translated from the Russian with an introduction by Clarence Brown. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled over by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, "We" is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's "1984" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World".

El mal del individuo

Sin valoración

“El nosotros proviene de Dios, y el yo, a su vez, del diablo”. Esta concisa y pragmática frase soltada a bocajarro y con más reflexión de la deseada por D-503, protagonista de la novela de Zamiatin, podría ser un resumen perfecto de la sociedad y el pensamiento uniformado al que están sometidos desde la más ingrata creencia en la libertad los habitantes del inexistente país en el que se desarrolla la trama de la mejor obra distópica de las que he tenido el gusto de leer. El remate a la faena puede de igual manera determinarse gracias a las mecánicas conclusiones extraídas de una mente de inexistente individualidad, con número de identificación cual código de barras en clara disonancia con el concepto de ser humano que ni aparece de forma concreta en toda la novela, y cuyas ideas han sido concebidas, como en implante, para asentir sin discernir en cualquier …
