Publisher Description
This amazing novel marks the dividing line between nineteenth- and twentieth-century fiction, and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.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.

He captures and organizes complex and mercurial modes of thought we can all pull ourselves into when we’re in despair. And then suddenly we end up in a place not knowing how we got there. The self awareness here is deep. GuD BuK.
Painful to read
Awful part one. Part two can lead you to some insight into existencialism.
