A Story About the Most Important Thing (Rasskaz o Samom Glavnom)

A novelist and publicist, discoverer of the 'provincial' world, the world of the Russian North, the world of 'islanders,' and other earthly 'little worlds,' author of the novel 'We,' the first dystopia of the 20th century, Yevgeny Zamyatin became the founder of an entire literary movement, not only in his homeland but also in European literature. Throughout his life, he was an 'inconvenient' writer, fighting for his right to independent thought, to 'real truth,' which, according to Dostoevsky, is 'always implausible.' This edition includes short stories and novellas from various years, as well as the novel 'The Scourge of God.'
