Notes from Underground. Eternal Stories

"Notes from Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a confession of a man who has distanced himself from society.

The unnamed hero is intelligent, ready to engage in polemics with contemporaries and denounce the vices of the age, but he appears as... a contradictory and unreliable narrator. Mentally returning to his past youth, he traces his tragic yet inevitable path to social underground.

"Notes from Underground" not only preceded Dostoevsky's "great pentateuch" but also anticipated the ideas of existential philosophy.

The book also includes the story "The Gentle Spirit." It tells the life of a woman who grew up in poverty and was forced to marry a moneylender. This is an internal monologue of the main character, his candid account of life with his wife – the Gentle Spirit. The story reveals themes of love, self-sacrifice, cruelty, and moral dilemmas faced by the characters.
The edition is presented in a stylish Young Adult design by contemporary artists.
