Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The book "We" is in the form of notes. It uses the mouth of a model citizen living in the future world to simulate the life and mentality of various people in a highly digitalized "Unified Kingdom" with centralized and unified management. In this unified kingdom that has reached the "highest peak of human civilization", all citizens are named with numbers. The protagonist D-503 is a mathematician in the unified kingdom. He is full of loyalty to the unified kingdom and specially took notes to praise the great unified kingdom. Due to the remaining human nature, the sudden appearance of the heroine I-330 greatly shocked the pure heart of D-503. Under the temptation of I-330, D-503 gradually liberated his nature, and gradually transformed from an extremely loyal member who wanted to turn into a machine at the beginning of the novel to a mortal with hatred and love, flesh and blood, and "soul". However, things are far from that simple. The reason why I-330 approached D-503 is that she has her own secret plan. ...The writing style of "We" directly influenced the later "1984" and "Brave New World", and even created the dystopian literary genre.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Eugene Zamyatin
A Russian writer of the Silver Age. He actively participated in the Russian Revolution in his youth and was exiled twice. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, he keenly felt the various drawbacks of the new system and wrote a series of works to criticize them. His works are a combination of symbolism, fantasy and reality, and are known as "neo-realism". He completed the creation of "We" in 1920, but it could not be published in China. The publication of the English translation of "We" abroad in 1924 forced him to withdraw from the Writers' Association and go into exile in France, where he eventually died in Paris.
The writing style of We directly influenced the later works 1984 and Brave New World, and further expanded the genre of dystopia literature after Herbert George Wells. George Orwell called it "a literary wonder of the book-burning era."
