Notes from Underground

2022 Reprint of the 1918 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Alienated from society and paralyzed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoevsky's groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'anthill' of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence 'underground'.
