In some ways this is a heavy text, laden with conversational philosophizing but the vividness of the narrator make it a wonderful read, and funny. The stylistic inventiveness, and the insights into the absurdities and weakness of humans seem so fresh and incisive today that if published now (a century and a half later) Notes would be considered an avant-garde post-modernist triumph. Translated by Constance Garnett (1861 - 1946)įyodor Dostoyevsky’s short masterpiece about a ranting, slightly mad civil servant. Notes From Underground, published in 1864, marks a tuming point in Dostoevskys writing: it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on.
