The Annotated We represents the first and only fully annotated translation of Evgeny Zamiatin's classic novel in English. Generally recognized as the first modern anti-utopian novel, Zamiatin's We has puzzled scholars and critics alike, for it is both serious and playful, full of word games. Long considered to be enigmatic, it stands out as unique among his works, and its importance is beyond doubt, for it not only holds the distinction of being the first work of its kind, but it is also widely believed to have provided thematic elements for the two most famous dystopian works of the twentieth century, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. This new English translation employs language and syntax that mirror the precision and economy of Zamiatin's "poem in prose." It is the only annotated version of We that carefully scrutinizes Zamiatin's use of language, and at the same time suggests many previously unacknowledged sources for his playfulness, while providing commentary about the broad array of diverse allusions that mark his text.
