Description

This is an alternate cover edition of We

The citizens of the One State live in a condition of 'mathematically infallible happiness'. D-503 decides to keep a diary of his days working for the collective good in this clean, blue city state where nature, privacy and individual liberty have been eradicated. But over the course of his journal D-503 suddenly finds himself caught up in unthinkable and illegal activities - love and rebellion.
Banned on its publication in Russia in 1921, We is the first modern dystopian novel and a satire on state control that has once again become chillingly relevant.

A escrita foi realmente confusa, acho que é por ser em formato de diário, escrito por alguém questionando sua realidade e sem palavras suficientes para descrevê-la. Até agora, tem coisas que não entendi, e esse negócio dos nomes serem letras e números deixou tudo mais difícil. Mas foi bom ler o livro que inspirou todas as outras obras do gênero distopia.

Знаковый роман, с которого официально отсчитывают само существование жанра "антиутопия" Запрещенный в советский период, теперь он считается одним из классических произведений не только русской, но и мировой литературы ХХ века. Роман об "обществе равных", в котором человеческая личность сведена к "нумеру". В нем унифицировано все — одежда и квартиры, мысли и чувства. Нет ни семьи, ни прочных привязанностей... Но можно ли вытравить из человека жажду свободы, пока он остается человеком?
