Read full description of the books:
'Wij' staat allang op de leeslijst en toen ik per toeval op dit boek stuitte in de bibliotheek heb ik deze snel meegegrepen. Zamyatin heeft een eigenzinnige, fijne manier van schrijven. Heel intuïtief en verbeeldend. Tegelijkertijd mondt dit soms uit tot doelloos gebrabbel. Wellicht is het ook mijn gebrekkige kennis van de Russische provincie, maar het levendige taalgebruik kon in mijn hoofd niet omgezet worden in levendige beelden. Wat ook al niet helpt is de beperkte plotontwikkeling. De verhalen werken eigenlijk nergens naartoe. Dat hoeft an sich geen probleem te zijn, maar zoals gezegd is het tekstueel niet boeiend genoeg.
Ik zou haast zeggen, typisch geval van een veelbelovend debuut die wel degelijk een meesterwerk in zijn pen heeft, maar nog moet groeien. Dat het ('A Pronvicial Tale') ook daadwerkelijk zijn debuut bleek te zijn, bevestigde dit gevoel.

Read information about the author
Yevgeny Zamyatin (Russian: Евгений Замятин, sometimes also seen spelled Eugene Zamiatin) Russian novelist, playwright, short story writer, and essayist, whose famous anti-utopia (1924, We) prefigured Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), and inspired George Orwell's 1984 (1949). The book was considered a "malicious slander on socialism" in the Soviet Union, and it was not until 1988 when Zamyatin was rehabilitated. In the English-speaking world We has appeared in several translations."And then, just the way it was this morning in the hangar, I saw again, as though right then for the first time in my life, I saw everything: the unalterably straight streets, the sparkling glass of the sidewalks, the divine parallelepipeds of the transparent dwellings, the squared harmony of our gray-blue ranks. And so I felt that I - not generations of people, but I myself - I had conquered the old God and the old life, I myself had created all this, and I'm like a tower, I'm afraid to move my elbow for fear of shattering the walls, the cupolas, the machines..." (from We, trans. by Clarence Brown)
Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin was born in the provincial town of Lebedian, some two hundred miles south of Moscow. His father was an Orthodox priest and schoolmaster, and his mother musician. He attended Progymnasium in Lebedian and gymnasium in Voronezh. From 1902 to 1908 he studied naval engineering at St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute. While still a student, he joined the Bolshevik Party. In 1905 he made a study trip in the Near East. Due to his revolutionary activities Zamyatin was arrested in 1905 and exiled. His first short story, 'Odin' (1908), was drew on his experiences in prison.
Zamyatin applied to Stalin for permission to emigrate in 1931 and lived in Paris until his death.
