A novel about the impossibility of enforced happiness, already in the 1920s predicting the main features of totalitarian ideologies, a model of the genre for all Russian and Western dystopias.

"The Main Books of Russian Literature" is a joint series of the publishing house "Alpina.Proza" and the online project "Polka". The works published in it are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary scholars, and educators. This is both an attempt to determine what the Russian literary canon looks like today and a new perspective on well-known works: each book is accompanied by a detailed article from the authors of "Polka."
