Notes from the Underground

Exploring themes of isolation and the human condition, this 1864 novel delves into the psyche of an unnamed narrator who grapples with his disconnection from society. Through a series of confessions and reflections, he critiques social norms and exposes the struggles of free will and moral ambiguity. Often regarded as a precursor to existentialism, the narrative challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about existence and the nature of self. Dostoevsky's work remains a profound exploration of the complexities of life and identity.
