{"product_id":"we-new-translation","title":"We: New translation","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We takes place in a distant future, where humans are forced to submit their wills to the requirements of the state, under the rule of the all-powerful Benefactor, and dreams are regarded as a sign of mental illness. In a city of straight lines, protected by green walls and a glass dome, a spaceship is being built in order to spearhead the conquest of new planets. Its chief engineer, a man called Delta-503, keeps a journal of his life and activities: to his mathematical mind everything seems to make sense and proceed as it should, until a chance encounter with a woman threatens to shatter the very foundations of the world he lives in.\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;Written in a highly charged, direct and concise style, Zamyatin's 1921 seminal novel - here presented in Hugh Aplin's crisp translation - is not only an indictment of the Soviet Russia of his time and a precursor of the works of Orwell and the dystopian genre, but also a prefiguration of much of twentieth-century history and a harbinger of the ominous future that may still lay ahead of us.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 320 pages | Published November 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63966588272989,"sku":"9781847496768","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781847496768.jpg?v=1774348071","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/we-new-translation","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
