Résumé anglais Leonid Heller, The games and stakes of synthetism: Evgenii Zamiatin and his Tale of what is most important. The article analyzes The Tale of what is most important of Evgenii Zamiatin. It endeavors to demonstrate the connection between Zamiatin1 s style (perfectly well illustrated by the tale in question) and the principles set out in the writer's works which develop his theory of "synthetism". An intertextual study of the narrative throws a new light on the tale in which fantastic and realistic elements intermingle to stage a wide conception of the world incorporating references to Nietzsche, Dostoevskii and the occultist ideas of the beginning of the century, as well as to the scientific theories of Mayer, Ostwald and Einstein. Thus the irrational and the rational contrast to create a dynamic framework for a metaphysical vision.
