📝 Description
Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'Notes from Underground' is a pioneering work of existentialist literature. It presents the fragmented, bitter, and contradictory thoughts of an unnamed narrator, the 'underground man,' who rails against rationalism, utopianism, and the conventions of society. The novella explores themes of free will, alienation, and the darker aspects of human psychology. Originally, it contained a chapter arguing for Christianity, which was censored, leading to its current, more nihilistic presentation.
