Yevgeny Zamyatin Collected editions

Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884 – 1937) was a Russian novelist and satirist whose groundbreaking dystopian novel We became a seminal influence on later works such as Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World. Set in a totalitarian future where individuality is suppressed for the collective good, the book explores themes of freedom, conformity, and the human spirit.

Zamyatin’s sharp political insight and experimental style made him a controversial figure in Soviet Russia, ultimately leading to the banning of his works and his exile.

Today, Yevgeny Zamyatin is recognized as a visionary whose fearless critique of authoritarianism remains as relevant as ever.
