Synopsis:
A predecessor to such monumental works such as Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, Notes From Underground represents a turning point in Dostoyevsky’s writing towards the more political side.
In this work we follow the unnamed narrator of the story, who disillusioned by the oppression and corruption of the society in which he lives withdraws from that society into the underground.
A dark and politically charged novel, "Notes From Underground” shows Dostoyevsky at his best.
ABOUT DOSTOEVSKY:
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-81), one of nineteenth-century Russia’s greatest novelists, spent four years in a convict prison in Siberia, after which he was obliged to enlist in the army.
In later years his penchant for gambling sent him deeply into debt. Most of his important works were written after 1864.
