Description
Notes from the Underground marks a turning point in Dostoevsky’s writing. It announces the moral, political, and social ideas that he will further examine in Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. His idea of the “underground” has furnished modern European fiction with one of its principal archetypes, found in works by Kafka, Hesse, Camus, and Sartre: the consciousness of a hero morbidly obsessed with his own impotence in dealing with social realities. Dostoevsky’s antihero is an alienated individual who has become one of the greatest influences in all literature.
