Publisher's Summary:
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.

Its crap of a product
this book is very cheaply made/printed.
this is not a quality product.
the pages dont even have numbers on it.
The cover is a very pixel image that was improperly stretched. Its crap of a product.
They took a good classic books and did a horrible job printing it and binding it.
I read this as an assignment from a Great Books course and found it interesting and profound
I read this as an assignment from a Great Books course and found it interesting and profound. The main character is foolish but is just like most of us which is what makes this book a good read.
Deep Character Study
This is a dark story of a man who is about miserable as you can imagine. However in hearing his confession, I think we get an insight into how people do become this way. He feels justified in most of his positions, but now and then does relent and admit his own follies. Some he might have control of and others he may not, but either way, this is a truly deep psychological look at a disturbed man who I could not help but identify with at certain times.
Five Stars
It is as it was advertised.
Something to think about...
Thoughts thoughts and more thoughts... most of the book is like hearing one thinking of what they do in life. At first I thought ...What? .. but, as I kept going I could find some like ideas or thought patterns of my own and it was interesting to see how he followed through in his thoughts and what I myself thought of it. Toward the end of the book he was holding more of a dialog with someone and that did not interest me as much. Again, I think Amazon for putting this classic out for my Kindle for Free.
