Notes from Underground

March 4, 2009
More than anything, this book should make you think. And not about trivial shit either, but about big, important conditions of life and how best to view and react to them. I have "should" italicized in that first sentence for a reason: If you don't give yourself time to think -- if just skim through the book quickly -- then you won't get anything out of it.

It's narrated by a guy living underground, in poverty. You are reading his notes. The first half, his ramblings, thoughts and philosophies of life, via monologue. The second half, humiliating stories from when he was 24 (he is now 40). He is a fascinating character. A paranoid, ridiculous, introspective, analytical, abrasive, laughable, vengeful, antisocial, extreme, hypersensitive, pathological, delicate, hilarious, bottom-dwelling, pathetic, indecisive, crazy, loner of a man.

Dostoyevsky's birthday: Rarely has a modern writer escaped his shadow

The secret of a man's life is not just living, but why he lives, is one of the thoughts of the Russian writer, novelist, novelist and publicist Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky, who was born on this day in 1821 in Moscow.

He was the son of a doctor, a member of the lower nobility who was killed by his own serfs because of cruelty and humiliation, while his mother died when he was still a child. The future writer attends and completes military engineering education in what was then Petrograd, and today's Saint Petersburg, but decided early on that he would devote himself to a literary vocation.

In his novels, Dostoevsky is the first among Russian writers to depict an urban environment full of heavy and gloomy tragedy that suffocates everything around it. Searching for the hidden motivations of human actions, looking for answers to existential questions, but also moral and philosophical questions of human existence, while penetrating the soul and psyche of man, bringing psychological portraits of his heroes.
