One of the most profound and most unsettling works of modern literature, Notes from Underground (first published in 1864) remains a cultural and literary watershed. In these pages Dostoevsky unflinchingly examines the dark, mysterious depths of the human heart. The Underground Man so chillingly depicted here has become an archetypal figure - loathsome and prophetic - in contemporary culture. This vivid new rendering by Boris Jakim is more faithful to Dostoevsky?s original Russian than any previous translation; it maintains the coarse, vivid language underscoring the "visceral experimentalism" that made both the book and its protagonist groundbreaking and iconic. | NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
