Islanders and The Fisher of Men Yevgeny Zamyatin 1984 Islanders, written in 1917 in England, is about the opposition between respectable society in a provincial town and the forces that seek to undermine it. _______________________ Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin (1 February 1884 – 10 March 1937), sometimes anglicized as Eugene Zamiatin, was a Russian author of science fiction, philosophy, literary criticism, and political satire. The son of a Russian Orthodox priest, Zamyatin abandoned Christianity at an early age and became a Bolshevik. As a member of his Party's Pre-Revolutionary underground, Zamyatin was repeatedly arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and exiled. But Zamyatin was just as deeply disturbed by the policies pursued by the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) following the October Revolution as he had been by Tsarist policy. Due to his subsequent use of literature to both satirize and criticize the Soviet Union's enforced conformity and increasing totalitarianism, Zamyatin, whom Mirra Ginsburg has dubbed "a man of incorruptible and uncompromising courage,"is now considered one of the first Soviet dissidents. --Wikipedia First Edition Thus See photos for a better idea of item's actual condition.
