About this ebook

Fiódor Dostoiévski Mikháilovitch was born in Moscow in 1821 and died in St. Petersburg in 1881. He is recognized as one of the greatest writers in Soviet and international literature. "Notes from Underground" is Dostoevsky's darkest and strangest work. The book offers a powerful refutation of Enlightenment and idealism, as well as the promises of socialist utopianism. It boldly rejects the ideas of "development" and "higher consciousness," preferring to describe humans as irrational, rebellious, and uncooperative. According to Nietzsche, it's a work that expresses "the voice of blood." " Notes from Underground" is a challenging and irresistible novel that deserves recognition as much more than a mere critical prelude to Dostoevsky's later and more famous works. Rightly so, the work is included in the famous collection " 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die."

About the author

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was one of the great Russian writers, author of "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Crime and Punishment," masterpieces of world literature. His novels address existential questions and themes related to humiliation, guilt, suicide, madness, and pathological states of the human being. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was born in Moscow, Russia, on November 11, 1821. The son of Mikhail Dostoevsky and Maria Fyodorovna Netchaiev, he was orphaned of his mother on February 27, 1837. In that same year, he was sent to St. Petersburg, where he studied at the School of Military Engineering. In 1839, his father, who was a doctor, was murdered by settlers on the estate where he lived. This event caused great upheaval in Dostoevsky's life, who experienced the first epileptic seizures upon learning of his father's death.
