In the One State everyone lives behind glass, walks in step and is numbered; D-503 is building the spaceship that will bring this happiness to other planets, and then a woman shows him the wild land beyond the wall. Zamyatin wrote it in 1920, and it was banned in Russia before it was published anywhere; Orwell read it in French and reviewed it in 1946, three years before Nineteen Eighty-Four. The narrator keeps a diary in the language of mathematics. Sixty night and moonlight plates by painters including Johan Christian Dahl and Carl Gustav Carus run from 1820 to 1929, the cold lunar light of the One State's glass world.
