A landmark novel from which the very existence of the genre “anti-utopia” is officially traced. Banned during the Soviet period, it is now considered one of the classics of not only Russian, but also world literature of the 20th century. A novel about an “equal society,” where the human individual is reduced to a “number.” Everything is unified—clothes and apartments, thoughts and feelings. There is no family, no lasting attachments… But can you eradicate a person’s thirst for freedom while they still remain human?
