Notes from underground

Více o knize

Exploring themes of disillusionment and societal oppression, this work features an unnamed narrator who retreats into the underground due to his disdain for the corruption around him. It marks a significant shift in Dostoyevsky's writing towards political commentary. In contrast, "The Double" offers a psychological exploration of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a clerk tormented by the fear of losing his identity to a doppelgänger. Both stories showcase Dostoyevsky's talent for delving into the complexities of the human psyche.
