"I am a sick man . . . I am a spiteful man," the irascible voice
of a nameless narrator cries out. And so, from underground, emerge
the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the brutal
self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn and
iconoclasm of alienated individual who has become one of the
greatest antiheroes in all literature. "Notes From Underground,"
published in 1864, marks a tuming point in Dostoevsky's writing: it
announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a
monumental scale in "Crime And Punishment," "The Idiot," and "The
Brothers Karamazov." And it remains to this day one of the most
searingly honest and universal testaments to human despair ever
penned. "The political cataclysms and cultural revolutions of our
century...confirm the status of "Notes from Underground" as one of
the most sheerly astonishing and subversive creations of European
fiction."-from the Introduction by Donald Fanger
