“The political cataclysms and cultural revolutions of our century . . . confirm the status of Notes from Underground as one of the most sheerly astonishing and subversive creations of European fiction.”—from the Introduction by Donald Fanger

“I am a sick man . . .I am a spiteful man,” the irascible voice of a nameless narratorcries so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a sufferingman; the brutal self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn and iconoclasmof alienated individual who has become one of the greatest antiheroes in all literature.Notes From Underground, published in 1864, marks a tuming point in Dostoevsky’s writing:it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a monumentalscale in Crime And Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. And it remainsto this day one of the most searingly honest and universal testaments to human despairever penned.
