Notes From UndergroundWritten in 1864, this classic novel recounts the apology and confession of a minor nineteenth-century official, an almost comical account of the man's separation from society and his descent ""underground.""
Passionate confessions from a tormented soul are the meat of this first of Dostoevsky's books. A minor official brutally scrutinizes himself and decides to go "underground," away from society. This is a strange account of a man relentless in his examination of the world and his own soul, but it is also occasionally comical.
