  • "I
  • am
  • a
  • sick
  • man…
  • I
  • am
  • a
  • spiteful
  • man."
  • These
  • chilling
  • opening
  • words

  • the
  • beginning
  • of
  • Notes
  • from
  • the
  • Underground,
  • Fyodor
  • Dostoyevsky's

  • tormented,
  • self-destructive

  • first
  • existentialist
  • works,
  • this
  • philosophical
  • and
  • psychological
  • masterpiece
  • explores
  • human
  • free
  • will,
  • suffering,
  • and
  • the
  • irrationality
  • of
  • human
  • nature.
  • Set
  • in

  • Russia,
  • the
  • novel

  • and
  • bitter
  • former
  • government
  • worker—who
  • retreats
  • underground,
  • rejecting
  • societal
  • norms
  • and
  • rational
  • thought.
  • Through
  • a
  • deeply
  • introspective
  • monologue,
  • he

  • self-loathing,
  • and
  • the
  • contradictions
  • of
  • human
  • behavior.
  • Dostoyevsky's
  • antihero
  • struggles
  • with
  • his
  • own
  • logic
  • and
  • emotions,
  • revealing
  • the
  • paradoxes
  • of
  • human
  • psychology
  • and
  • civilization.
  • A
  • precursor
  • to
  • modern
  • existentialism,
  • this
  • novel
  • questions
  • the
  • foundations
  • of
  • rationalism,
  • utopianism,
  • and
  • morality.
  • It
  • forces
  • readers
  • to
  • confront
  • the
  • uncomfortable
  • truths
  • about
  • human
  • nature,
  • suffering,
  • and
  • self-destruction.
  • One
  • of
  • the
  • most
  • influential
  • existentialist
  • novels,
  • inspiring
  • writers
  • such
  • as
  • Nietzsche,
  • Sartre,
  • and
  • Camus.
