{"product_id":"robert-russell-zamiatin-s-we-9781853993930","title":"Zamiatin's We","description":"Evgenii Zamiatin's seminal antiutopian satire \"We\" (written 1920-1) is one of the most celebrated works of twentieth century Russian literature. Set one thousand years in the future, it is a witty yet terrifying picture of a future society in which reason is all-conquering and mankind has been enslaved by a dictator called 'the benefactor'. This new study presents both a synthesis of existing criticism and a new reading of the novel. The first section deals with \"We\" in the context of the Russian Civil War, showing how Zamiatin's contemporaries interpreted it as a satire on life in Soviet Russia. The major trends in the diverse body of modern criticism are then surveyed. The longer second part of the study consists of a detailed reading of the novel based on close textual analysis of the forty 'entries' of its narrator's diary.","brand":"Bloomsbury 3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53716255146326,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781853993930_1.jpg?v=1778876417","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/robert-russell-zamiatin-s-we-9781853993930","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
