We: New Edition

Manuel João Gomes

O romance 'Nós' foi escrito em 1920, tendo sido publicado pela primeira vez em 1924, numa tradução inglesa, em Nova Iorque. A primeira edição russa só sairia em 1952, tanbém em Nova Iorque. Apenas na década de 80, depois da Perestroika, pôde a obra ver a luz do dia na URSS. 'Nós' constitui uma das primeiras distopias do século XX, precursora de obras como 'Admirável Mundo Novo' (1930) de Aldous Huxley, 'Mil novecentos e oitenta e quatro' (1948), de George Orwell, a 'Fahrenheit 451' (1953), de Ray Bradbury. Têm em comum descreverem por antecipação a engenharia social que, apoiada no controle do pensamento e na repressão da dissidência, garante a unanimidade totalitária.
