We

“A MAJOR ARTIST!” The New York Times Book Review YEVGENY ZAMYATIN was born in Russia in 1884. A friend of Gorky, Zamyatin was an enthusiastic supporter of the Revolution — at first. WE, written in 1921 and 1922, was circulated clandestinely, and even though it was denied publication, WE became one of the most influential and talked-about novels of this century. Zamyatin was exiled under Stalin and died in Paris in 1937. His master-piece remains unpublished in his native Russia.
