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, \u003ci\u003eWe \u003c\/i\u003eis the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's\u003ci\u003e 1984\u003c\/i\u003e and Aldous Huxley's\u003ci\u003e Brave New World\u003c\/i\u003e. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown's brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years' suppression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140185850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 5.00w x 0.45d","brand":"Yevgeny Zamyatin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634747666588,"sku":"9780140185850","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c077a510-f1b5-440a-843a-e5ea81f7e038.jpg?v=1603837551","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/we-9780140185850","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
