‘Notes from Underground establishing Dostoevsky’s reputation as the most innovative and challenging writer of fiction in his generation in Russia’ Rowan Williams, Guardian

FROM THE AWARD-WINNING TRANSLATORS RICHARD PEVEAR AND LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY

Dostoevsky’s genius is on display in this powerful existential novel.

The apology and confession of a minor mid-19th-century Russian official, Notes from Underground, is a half-desperate, half-mocking political critique and a powerful, at times absurdly comical, account of man’s breakaway from society and descent ‘underground’.
