A review by mirkhosro
Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky

5.0

I read this book in my late 20s. I just know that I should read it again in my 40s. The underground man may sound and seem too extreme in his thoughts and manners but I could some times very well relate to him. I believe he is the voice of some aspect of the personalities of us all. Some deep, underground, unconscious, repressed character that we seldom dare bring up, admit its existence and listen to it. But he is nevertheless there, living in our underground or his "corner". I know this may sound too Freudian, but hey, Freud himself has admitted that he was inspired by Dostoevsky!
