Overview
Un gran clásico de la literatura, que inspiró 1984 de George Orwell y predijo los peores excesos del imperio soviético. A la altura de las novelas distópicas de Margaret Atwood.
En una ciudad con muros y edificios de cristal existe una sociedad totalitaria cuyos súbditos sobrellevan unas vidas carentes de pasión y creatividad. Hasta que D-503, un matemático que por las noches sueña con números, efectúa un descubrimiento: tiene un alma individual. Ambientada en el siglo XXVI, Nosotros es la novela distópica por antonomasia, antecesora de 1984 y Un mundo feliz. Un relato que vaticina el destino al que todos podemos estar abocados si rendimos nuestra individualidad a un desvarío tecnológico colectivo.
Proscrita en la Unión Soviética durante muchos años, Nosotros sigue siendo un conmovedor alegato en favor de la libertad individual, al tiempo que una convincente, trepidante y vívida obra de ciencia ficción.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The exhilarating dystopian novel that inspired George Orwell's 1984 and foreshadowed the worst excesses of Soviet Russia
Yevgueni Zamiatin's We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, ruled by the all-powerful 'Benefactor', the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity - until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom, yet is also a powerful, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. First published in Russia in 1988, after more than sixty years of suppression.
