Memoirs of a Midget is a surrealistic novel and told in the first person by Miss M., who is playfully referred to as "Midgetina" by her faithless friend, Fanny. Hers is the story of a person who, though at home in nature and literature, is physically, spiritually, and intellectually out of place in the world. Notwithstanding her stature Miss M.'s intellect is large and her perceptions preternaturally sharp. Most of the book's narrative covers the events of the twelve-month period between Miss M.'s twentieth and twenty-first years as she attempts to make her way in the world alone after the death of her parents. The book was published to high praise in 1921 and in that year received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction. Rebecca West later included Memoirs of a Midget on a list of the "best imaginative productions of the last decade in England".

Download or read book WE Dystopian Classic written by Yevgeny Zamyatin and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-25 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "We" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "We" is a dystopian novel which is set in a dystopian future police state. D-503 lives in the One State, an urban nation constructed almost entirely of glass, which allows the secret police/spies to inform on and supervise the public more easily. The structure of the state is analogous to the prison design concept developed by Jeremy Bentham commonly referred to as the Panopticon. Furthermore, life is organized to promote maximum productive efficiency along the lines of the system advocated by the hugely influential F. W. Taylor. People march in step with each other and wear identical clothing. There is no way of referring to people save by their given numbers. Males have odd numbers prefixed by consonants; females have even numbers prefixed by vowels. Along with Jack London's The Iron Heel, We is generally considered to be the grandfather of the satirical futuristic dystopia genre. Yevgeny Zamyatin (1884-1937) was a Russian author of science fiction and political satire. Due to his use of literature to criticize Soviet society, Zamyatin has been referred to as one of the first Soviet dissidents.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Memoirs Of A Midget: After careful consideration, and after disguising the names of[Pg 14] certain persons and places to preclude every possibility of giving offence-even Mrs Percy Maudlen, for instance, if she ever scans these pages, may blush unrecognized!-I concluded that though I was under no absolute obligation to secure the publication of the Memoirs, this undoubtedly had been Miss M.'s intention and wish. ...The serious-minded may none the less dismiss a midget's lucubrations as trifling; and no doubt-it could hardly be otherwise-a more practised taste than mine will discover many faults, crudities, and inconsistencies in them, though certain little prejudices on Miss M.'s side may not be so easily detectable. ...Indeed, she herself assured me in the covering letter to which reference has been made, that a chance word of mine had been her actual incentive to composition-the remark, in fact, that 'the truth about even the least of things-e. g., your Self, Miss M.!-may be a taper in whose beam one may peep at the truth about everything.' ...My mother, in her youth at Tunbridge Wells, had been considered 'a beauty, ' and had had many admirers-at least so Mrs Ballard, our cook, told Pollie: 'Yes, and we know who might have turned out different if things hadn't been the same, ' was a cryptic remark she once made which filled two 'little pitchers' to overflowing. ...With myself pinnacled on his angular knee, and devouring like a sweetmeat every broken English word as it slipped from his tongue, he told me how pious an infant my Saint had been; how, when her mother, to beautify her, had twined flowers in her hair, she had pinned them to her skull; how she had rubbed quicklime on her fair cheeks to disenchant her lovers ('ses pr tendants'), and how it was only veritable showers of roses from heaven that had at last persuaded Pope Clement to make her a saint.
