An immersive confessional from a bitter excivil servant, this classic Russian novella is set in St. Petersburg in the 1860s. Notes from the Underground is Dostoevskys early masterpiece and is one of the first examples of existentialist literature. Fyodor Dostoevskys narrator is the anonymous voice of the masterful novella. Retired and isolated from society, he is bitter, contemptuous, and contemplative as he presents his anecdotes and philosophical outlooks. Presented as an extract from the narrators memoirs, Notes from the Underground is divided into two parts. Opening with a monologue attacking Western philosophy, Dostoevsky follows this theoretical exploration with the antiheros accounts of various destructive and restorative life experiences. First published in 1864, Notes from the Underground is an analysis of human psychology and demonstrates Dostoevskys sharp wit and keen understanding of the psyche. A landmark in classic literature, this volume is a mustread for everyone. This edition features a speciallycommissioned biography of the author.
