Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Notes from Underground Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The compelling work presented in this book were written at distinct periods in Dostoyevsky's life, at decisive moments in his groping for a political philosophy and a religious answer. From the primitive peasant who kills without understanding that he is destroying life to the anxious antihero of Notes from Underground-who both craves and despises affection-the writer's often-tormented characters showcase his evolving outlook on our fate.
