Notes from the underground / Fyodor Dostoyevsky. - Dover ed. - New York : Dover Publications, 1992. - iii, 91 p. ; 21 cm. - Dover thrift editions . - Dover thrift editions. .

Darkly fascinating short novel depicts the struggles of a doubting, supremely alienated protagonist in a world of relative values. Seminal work introduced moral, religious, political and social themes that dominated Dostoyevsky's later masterworks. Constance Garnett's authoritative translation is reprinted here, with a new introduction. A minor official brutally scrutinizes himself and decides to go "underground, " away from society. This is a strange account of a man relentless in his examination of the world and his own soul, but it is also occasionally comical.
