Notes from Underground

De: Fyodor Dostoevsky

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

"I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man", a nameless voice cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the painful self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn of a lonely individual who has become one of the greatest anti-heroes in all literature.

In 1864, just prior to the years in which he wrote his greatest novels - Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky penned the darkly fascinating Notes from Underground. Its nameless hero is a profoundly alienated individual in whose brooding self-analysis there is a search for the true and the good in a world of relative values and few absolutes. Moreover, the novel introduces themes - moral, religious, political, and social - that dominated Dostoevsky’s later works.

Those who are familiar with his works will immediately recognize the novel's richly complex philosophical, political, and psychological themes; those who are not will find the best introduction to Dostoevsky's grander masterpieces.

Timeless sigma

So insightful and universal. Hope everyone going through the underground can get help and overcome their struggles with love.

Powerful

Explores the mind of a disturbed man, his views and perceptions of honor and morality.

Excellent

A great book for a buddy read. Also the kind of book I'd have to reread at some point in my life. It's my first from the author and now I'm more confident to try his larger works.

Unbelievable

I love Dostoevsky but this book is just amazing in my eyes. The depth of his view into the soul, fear and his idea of life are wonderfully profound. I have no doubt some listeners would despise this book, but if your mind is open, sensitive, it’s a life changing experience

Underrated Gem from the Author

The more I listen to Dostoevsky, the more I realize the mastery of his understanding for the human condition . I thoroughly enjoyed this one and the narrator did a fantastic reading. Highly recommend.
