The Islanders

Studio “MediaKniga” presents an audiobook by Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin — the great Russian writer, publicist and literary critic, screenwriter, engineer — “North.”

“First, it would happen that Mrs. Dewly slipped off the rails and tried, on an improper day, to sit on the vicar’s lap—or to do charity at the wrong time. But every time Mr. Dewly, with his dazzling golden smile (he had eight crowns on his teeth) and with the tact inherent in him—would explain:

‘My dear, it’s, of course, a mere harmless evasion. But you remember the second chapter of my “Testament”: life must become a well-built machine and, with mechanical inevitability, carry us to our desired goal. Mechanical—you understand? And if the work of even the tiniest little wheel is disrupted… Well, yes, you understand.’

Of course, Mrs. Dewly understood.”
