Through the ramblings of its unnamed narrator--an embittered, isolated man living in St. Petersburg--we are taken deep into the conflicted mind of a man who defies logic, mocks rationality, and challenges the very foundations of society.\u003cp\u003eThis provocative and philosophical work explores themes of free will, alienation, self-destruction, and the human condition with startling honesty. Dark, philosophical, and ahead of its time, it remains one of Dostoevsky's most thought-provoking and enduring works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA cry from the depths of a fractured mind.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the foundational text of existentialist and psychological literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelve into the conflicted mind of an anti-hero who resists logic and modernity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflect on profound questions of free will, alienation, and self-awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover Dostoevsky's influence on thinkers like Nietzsche, Camus, and Freud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience a bold and unapologetic examination of human irrationality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eThemes Explored: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe paradox of human free will\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolation and the psyche of the underground man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRejection of utilitarianism and rational egoism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShame, pride, and self-inflicted suffering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConflict between reason and emotion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fyodor Dostoyevsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fingerprint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.64h x 4.96w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789362140968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most important Russian author of his time, Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (also spelled Dostoevsky) was born on November 11, 1821, in Moscow. From a young age, he was introduced to literature by way of fairy tales and folk tales narrated to him. After completing his studies, Dostoevsky became a sub-lieutenant. In 1843, he began to work as a lieutenant engineer. His first piece of writing, a translation of Balzac's Eugénie Grandet, was published in the same year. Poor Folk, Dostoevsky's first novel was published in 1846.Between 1846 and 1849, Dostoevsky wrote works that were face-paced narratives. His short stories were featured regularly in Annals of the Fatherland, such as 'The Landlady', 'A Weak Heart', and 'Wild Nights'. Dostoevsky also published a monthly magazine Vremya under the editorship of his brother. Borne out of Dostoevsky's traumatic experiences and the misery of his general life and constant poverty, sprung out his masterpiece--Crime and Punishment. Dostoevsky wrote many other notable works such as Notes from the Underground (1864), Idiot (1868-69), The Possessed (1873), The Adult (1875), and The Brothers Karamazov (1881), which was his last work. On February 9, 1881, Dostoevsky breathed his last after he suffered multiple haemorrhages.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Fyodor Dostoyevsky \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48910004977821,"sku":"9789362140968","price":7.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_32bcf81b-f05a-4eef-a8c4-a721ea675fd0.jpg?v=1789455468","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/notes-from-the-underground-9789362140968","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
