Notes from Underground: A Groundbreaking Exploration of Free Will, Alienation, and Human Despair

🕳️ What happens when a man retreats from society—and into his own mind?

Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of the most revolutionary and unsettling novellas in literary history. Told by a bitter, unnamed narrator—a former civil servant who has withdrawn from society—it is a raw confession filled with contradictions, defiance, and dark introspection.

This short yet deeply philosophical work questions the foundations of rationalism, utopianism, and morality, laying the groundwork for modern existentialism. As the Underground Man attacks the values of his time, readers are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about freedom, suffering, and self-destruction.
