Summary

In "Notes from Underground" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, we are not talking about revolutionary personalities, a secret struggle for some ideas or about a curtain of secrets and mysteries. The hero of the "underground", the author of the notes, is a collegiate assessor who retired after receiving a small inheritance. He lives poorly, in a wretched room on the outskirts of Petersburg. And the "underground" is psychological. Almost always he is alone, betrayed by unrestrained "dreaming", explores his own consciousness and his own soul. The purpose of his confession is "to test whether is it possible at all to be completely frank with oneself and not to be afraid of all the truth". Illustrated by Andronum.

Uninhibited ravings of a vulnerable and dangerous neurotic. Great stuff.

Uninhibited ravings of a vulnerable and dangerous neurotic. Mixed with remarkably prescient musings about the nature of modern society. Searingly honest and a foundation for what came next. Great stuff.

Masterpiece

A real masterpiece. Another one of Dostoyevsky's studies of human nature. And, with really excellent narration.
