NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND - Dostoevsky

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."
