X and other stories

 
This volume collects some of the best fiction by the celebrated author of 'We'. Presented in a new translation, these stories - some of them never translated before into English - show why Zamyatin's oeuvre as a whole is worthy of greater recognition today, not just for the context it affords readers of his most famous novel, but also for the light it can shed on Russian literature, culture and society of its time - as well as, most importantly, for its own intrinsic merit.
