This edition offers a deeply psychological and revolutionary narrative that challenges social utopianism through the eyes of a defiant, complex narrator. With over 2,600 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, it remains a must-read classic for discerning literary enthusiasts. ## Description Award-winning translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky give us a brilliantly faithful rendition of this classic novel, in all its tragedy and tormented comedy. In this second edition, they have updated their translation in honor of the 200th anniversary of Dostoevsky’s birth. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator of Dostoevsky''s most revolutionary novel is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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. Review: Difficult but essential reading - An astonishing insight into the darkest corners of the human psyche. The narrator represents the duality and paradoxical nature of being human, and his underground musings, polemic and reflections hit deep. Every interaction, from characters to the ideas of the time, act as a mirror to the face of the Underground Man, drawing up his fears, resentments - both sustaining him and tempting him to wield power over it. At times darkly comic, and terrifying, this is quite incredible - but not an easy read. Review: Five Stars - Good version of the book. ## Features - russian - dostoevsky - translation - fiction - literature ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 194,041 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 740 in Fiction Classics for Young Adults 4,769 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 6,706 in Fiction Classics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,682 Reviews | ## Images ![Notes from Underground (Vintage Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hKIP5eo-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Difficult but essential reading *by M***K on 5 March 2024* An astonishing insight into the darkest corners of the human psyche.
