Isolated from society in a tenement basement in St. Petersburg, a malicious former civil servant vents his resentments. In the rambling notes that follow, we are exposed to the inner turmoil of the Underground Man, who represents the voice of his generation. An emotional, paranoid knot of contradictions, the spiteful narrator is also desperate to join a society he loathes, if only to prove his superiority to it.

Exploring themes of free will versus determinism, Dostoyevsky’s existential exploration was written to challenge increasingly popular Western egoist philosophies. In the Underground Man, he found the embodiment of the antihero, whose behavior—like all human behavior—defies rationalization.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

Fyodor Dostoevsky é incrível

O livro é uma espécie de diário de um homem extremamente introvertido, que conta sobre sua vida isolada. O livro aborda uma linha de pensamento muito interessante, que me levou a conclusão que Dostoevsky é incrível. Ao mesmo tempo que somos forçados a criar um ressentimento do personagem principal, ele nos faz refletir sobre assuntos como moralidade, tristeza, introversão, entre outros.
