Description de l’éditeur
Published in 1864, Notes from Underground is considered the author's first masterpiece - the book in which he "became" Dostoevsky - and is seen as the source of all his later works. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose acclaimed translations of The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment have become the standard versions in English, now give us a superb new rendering of this early classic.
Avis d’utilisateurs
This book messed me up uncomfortable way.
Its not a long book i read it in a few sittings , but stuck with me for weeks. The narrator doesn’t even have a name he’s just angry, bitter guy talking to himself. Or to you or maybe to no one.
And what he says? Sometimes he sounds like a genius. Other times like he’s losing his mind. Mostly he sounds like someone who’s thought way too much because i recognised some of that in myself
