About the book
Notes from Underground is widely considered the forerunner of modernist literature and one of Dostoevsky's greatest literary achievements. The novel recounts the thoughts and encounters of a civil servant known only as The Underground Man who has quit his job and lives in a basement flat on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, surviving on a small inheritance. His humiliation turns to an inward-turning aggression that further reinforces his alienation from mainstream society. This Warbler Classics edition includes the full text of Dostoevsky's letter to his brother on the day he was to be executed, an essay by Patrick Maxwell, a detailed biographical timeline, and a list of suggested reading.
