Evgueni Zamiatine

writer

Evgueni Zamiatine (1884-1937) was a Russian author and playwright, renowned for his dystopian novel 'We,' which is often considered one of the first works in the genre. Zamiatine's writing reflects his staunch criticism of totalitarianism and the loss of individuality, themes that became increasingly relevant in the context of the Soviet regime. His innovative narrative style and use of mathematical precision in storytelling had a profound influence on later dystopian writers, solidifying his place as a key figure in 20th-century literature.
