Dostoevsky’s most revolutionary novel, Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence. In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of man’s essentially irrational nature.Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original.

Fiódor Dostoievski (1821 - 1881) es uno de los principales escritores de su época. Su literatura explora la psicología humana en el complejo contexto político, social y espiritual de la sociedad rusa del siglo XIX. Se le ha catalogado como «el mejor conocedor del alma humana de todos los tiempos». Su obra, aunque escrita en el siglo XIX, refleja al hombre y la sociedad de hoy. Dostoyevski es considerado uno de los precursores del existencialismo y probablemente el mayor representante de la literatura existencialista.
