We (A Dystopian Science Fiction Classic) - The Unabridged Original 1924 Edition

Yevgeny Zamyatin

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In 'We,' Yevgeny Zamyatin presents a harrowing vision of a future devoid of individualism, set in the OneState—a regimented society where personal freedom is subsumed by the collective will. Richly layered with allegorical depth, Zamyatin employs a sharp, fragmented narrative style that reflects the psychological impact of living under constant surveillance and conformity. This unabridged 1924 edition showcases Zamyatin's innovative use of mathematical symbols and emotional contrasts, orchestrating a profound exploration of the tension between individuality and societal uniformity, thus situating the novel within the broader context of early 20th-century dystopian literature. Zamyatin's own life experiences profoundly influenced 'We.' As a Russian engineer and a vocal critic of Bolshevism, he faced state censorship and persecution, shaping his views on totalitarianism and the loss of personal freedoms. His avant-garde associations and engagement with revolutionary ideas lent him a unique perspective, allowing him to craft a narrative that resonates with the anxieties of contemporary and future societies grappling with the balance between liberty and control. 'We' is an essential read for anyone captivated by dystopian narratives and the philosophical questions they raise. Zamyatin's prescient themes remain remarkably relevant, inviting readers to reflect on the implications of societal conformity and the enduring struggle for individual identity, making this work a cornerstone of not just Russian literature, but a foundational pillar of the science fiction genre.

Alpha Nicholas - Marked As Your...

Becky J

"The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."

The Alpha Who Saved Me

Stacy Rush

They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
 
I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
