Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

dark emotional funny mysterious reflective slow-paced

4.5

A novel invitation to various thought experiments. Among other things, Dostoevsky stirred this within me: For we shall not beg, though it is this we long to do; it is this we take instruction for; it is this I would perform for you.

There exists vanity, insanity, sensibility, fear, and hesitation. Reading Dostoevsky’s words is to engage in a conversation—double sided. Read, read, read.
