Description
About the book: "Notes from Underground" is a fictional memoir collection by Fyodor Dostoevsky, featuring an unnamed civil servant known as the Underground Man, living in isolation in St. Petersburg. This "underground" existence symbolizes his detachment from society, depicted as "listening through a crack under the floor." The novel is recognized as an early example of existentialist literature, challenging prevailing ideologies of the era, such as nihilism and utopianism. Dostoevsky highlights the flaws in idealized rationality within utopian visions, failing to account for the irrational human nature. This influential work has left a lasting impact on literature and philosophy, inspiring figures like Franz Kafka and Friedrich Nietzsche.
