Beschreibung

We, written by Russian author Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin, is a groundbreaking dystopian novel that explores the concept of a totalitarian society where individuality is suppressed in favor of collective unity. The book, originally published in 1924, serves as a precursor to other famous dystopian works such as George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Zamiatin's distinctive literary style combines elements of satire, science fiction, and political commentary to create a thought-provoking and timeless story. The novel is presented in the form of diary entries by the protagonist, D-503, offering readers a unique and intimate glimpse into the protagonist's inner thoughts and struggles. Through vivid imagery and allegorical storytelling, Zamiatin paints a vivid picture of a society under constant surveillance and control, challenging readers to contemplate the dangers of conformity and the importance of individual freedom. Evgenii Ivanovich Zamiatin's own experiences living under a repressive regime in early 20th-century Russia undoubtedly influenced his writing of We, making it a poignant and relevant read for those interested in exploring themes of government oppression and the struggle for personal identity. This novel is a must-read for fans of dystopian literature and those interested in delving into the complexities of human nature and societal control.

    The third volume following the magical mystery adventures of Bron the Welsh hedge witch, her American cousin Maddie, and their crazy bunch of friends (and enemies). 
    Herbs are good for you, right? 
    Maybe not so good for one person-who's found dead beside a cauldron of magical herbs. Glittery, frilly Sian Pederi is running a course up in the hills called "Unfurl Your Inner Spirit," and it's all path working, ley lines, drumming, and vegan food . . . until the corpse rocks up. 
    Bron needs to get to the bottom of it, but literally everyone wanted this person dead-and even Bron herself could have cheerfully hit them with a tree branch. She's got other problems, too. Harkin, her cat, is obsessed with the number three. Her mad Great Aunt might, or might not, be plotting the demise of her actual nemesis Elsie Delaney, and hunky police officer Adam is being just so impossibly nice. 
    With more Celtic folklore, faeries, druids, helpful vicars, London journalists, and random hippies than you can shake an authentic hand-carved sigil-adorned harp at . . . welcome back to the crazy world of Llanfair!
