Summary
Yevgenij Zamyatin: Fairy tales for big children
Fairy tales for big children are original short forms, miniatures in which Zamyatin presents a terrible caricature of the reality of the years after the October Revolution through cheerful irony and sharp, poisonous satire, even grotesque taken to the point of absurdity. In them, reality and fantasy meet, folklore stylization and philosophical thought, biblical plots and political subtext, sketches from life and anti-utopian prophecies.
