Vi ste u obavezi da budete srećni. U vreme kad sam ovu knjigu pročitala prvi put, nisam razumela zašto je karakterišu kao "antiutopiju". Meni se jedinstvenomilionski poredak svideo. Bilo mi je žao žrtava, jasno. Ali sam isto tako jasno videla da su "stradalnici" sami krivi za svoj položaj. Revoluc...

It was really interesting but I'm kinda confused which is why I can't give it a higher rating. I really loved the writing style and D-503 was such an interesting character.

Unabridged audio read by Grovenor GardnerThe only part of this audio file that is not distorted was that long introduction. Will have to find a better copy, so for the minute it is back on the to-read shelf.

Recommended to me as a prototype for [b:1984|5470|1984|George Orwell|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348990566s/5470.jpg|153313] and [b:Brave New World|5129|Brave New World|Aldous Huxley|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327865608s/5129.jpg|3204877], which I definitely think ar...

A classic dystopian novel, We is the one from which all others were descended. Without We there would be no 1984, no Brave New World. Based on the author's own experiences during the Russian Revolution and the founding of the Soviet Union, it was easier to find this book in an English translation th...

Not the happiest of endings, but this book was still amazing. It was hard to understand D-503 all of the time, but somehow that made me like this book even more. I'd definitely recommend this to any dystopian fans. :D

We has left me with general impressions more than with definite ideas - I think I probably need to read it again to get more out of it.The most striking impression is that of the glass buildings and the green glass-filtered twilight in which the numbers of the One State pass their orderly, centrally...

We walk--one million-headed body--with a humble joy in each of us, similar, I imagine, to what molecules, atoms, and phagocytes experience. The Christians of the ancient world (our only predecessors, as imperfect as they were) also understood this: humility is a virtue and pride is a vice; "WE" is d...

This book goes to the top of my how-the-hell-did-it-take-me-so-long-to-find-out-about-it list, being, as it is, a fore-runner to some of my most cherished speculative dystopic novels of all time: 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Slaughterhouse-Five... Yevgeny Zamyatin pre-dates them all: an or...
