Více o knize

The novella features a bitter, reclusive narrator known as the Underground Man, who offers a confessional account of his life in St. Petersburg as a retired civil servant. Written in a monologue style, it engages the reader in a sharp dialogue, reflecting the narrator's obsessive mental debates. The work critiques modern Russian philosophy, particularly challenging the deterministic views presented by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. Comprising two sections, it serves as both a personal exploration and a rebellion against the reduction of human individuality to scientific principles.
