Set in a dystopian future, this groundbreaking novel critiques totalitarianism and was controversial enough to provoke the ruling elite of Russia when it was published in English in 1924. The story, which explores themes of individuality versus collectivism, was suppressed in Russia until 1988 due to its provocative content. Yevgeny Zamyatin's experiences surrounding the novel's publication ultimately led to his exile from Russia, highlighting the significant impact of his work on both literature and society.
