{"product_id":"zamiatins-we-robert-russell-9781853993930","title":"Zamiatin's We","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvgenii 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185399393X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853993930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.46w x 0.32d","brand":"Robert Russell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453942706431,"sku":"9781853993930","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_860c8cf4-9c83-40cd-a9a3-7b15f90e6bec.jpg?v=1777303176","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zamiatins-we-robert-russell-9781853993930","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
