It marks a crucial turning point because it foreshadows the moral, political, and social ideas that he will address in a monumental way in Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons.

  • An excellent book.

    The first part is somewhat "heavy" (it takes its time) but it is necessary to unlock the second part (and Dostoevsky in general, I would say).

    I agree with the friend who says that it gives you the opportunity to self-reflect.

    P.S. The translation is very good.

    Reading it, you identify with the anonymous hero and it raises many questions and thoughts about our social relationships... A very nice novel that gives you the opportunity to do your self-reflection...

Description & Specifications

This book, written in 1864, is the first and strangest of Dostoevsky's masterpieces and at the same time a forerunner of all the works that followed.

It marks a crucial turning point because it foreshadows the moral, political, and social ideas that he will address in a monumental way in Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons.

Diverging from the established writing style in unprecedented ways, this classic novel speaks to us about the "escape" from society and the "descent" into the underworld - the Underground - of a 19th-century Russian official.

"I am a sick man... I am a wicked man," the anonymous hero of the book cries out desperately. And from the "Underground" emerges the passionate confession of a suffering man.

This merciless self-criticism has brought forth one of the greatest anti-heroes of World Literature.
