Pressestimmen
You read every shimmering, tormented word, mesmerised. This is Dostoevsky in distillation, a prelude not just to his leading works, but to the entire 20th century... How is it possible to have a character who evokes aspects of Hitler and Pooter, who is hilarious yet disturbing, and both villain and victim? Because Dostoevsky was a genius, and the narrator of Notes From Underground his most protean character, with whom you never quite know how you stand Sunday Times Dostoevsky's is a genuinely disembodied voice, speaking for all sufferers and victims Guardian

It is somewhat ironic that usually the people who pick up thislittle book are going through a personal crisis. This is probably thelast thing they need. This is not a cheer-up book, although they may find some commiseration in the narrator's life.
Who is this narrator? Like the protagonist of Dostoyevksy's -The Idiot-, he is someone who believes himself to be superior to "the great mass," but who is so superior that he must live "underground" (much like living as an "idiot"). He is something of a voluntary outcast, who nevertheless manages little personal moments of stickin' it to the man... perhaps the funniest subplot is how he plays "chicken" with important people who are walking down the sidewalk...
A Russian literary critic is rumored to have said "Dostoyevsky is the nastiest Christian I've ever met." And indeed, you would be mistaken if you expected something overly life-affirming, even in an existentialist way, in this book. It is life-affirming only in a fatalistic Russian sense, of "No matter how bad it gets, we can always laugh about it." Even the one scene that is set up as a messianic, optimistic scene, turns into something ugly and spiteful.
Still, this novel is interesting and brilliant, and a great introduction to Dostoyevsky's psychological studies and his anti-rationalist, anti-Enlightenment crusade. If nothing else, it shows Dostoyevsky before he wrote he had written his major novels, and before he had been sent to Siberia (an experience that made him significantly temper his anti-establishment views).

Dostoyesky's anti-hero is the the first of a long line of existential anti-heroes that followed later in the 20th century. Clearly, here is a man who is alienated from his bretheran. He has burrowed so deep internally that he can not connect with outsiders. He is trapped by his superior intellect and his heightened consciousness showers him with agony. He has no clue how to relate to men and women of any social status. He is alone. He foreshadows the players in the dramas of Samuel Beckett and Sartre. He is Nietszche and Kierkegaard in the ways in which they experienced their lives. He is The Stranger of Camus. He anticipates the 20th century anti-hero of Nabokov in Lolita and protagonists like Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Honest, brilliant, alienated, articulate and alone. He finds it impossible to channel his intellect into positive action: he lives in a state of paralysis. Most of all, the anti-hero is Dostoyesky, the author, penning immortal lines of literature from debtors prison. To understand clearly the influence of existentialism in 20th century literature, one must first understand this germinal literary classic.

I don't know where to begin or what exactly to say, except that I somehow want to convey how powerful this book is. It is about a raving and ranting hypersensitive man who has lived in relative isolation his whole life without being loved, and then it relays some minor events in his life that impact him greatly. throughout, we see the way he analyzes every situation before he gets into it, then we see how he instinctively reacts during the situation, and finally, the impact after he has left the situation. Although some would call him disturbed, I could relate more to this frail hurt creature than any other character I have ever read about. Dostoyevski was not only a genius, but he had unmeasurable courage to put thoughts like these on paper and publish them. This book was like having a friend pour their heart out to you about a very embarressing subject, one you would always think of yourself as weird for thinking of, and you could finally realize that you are not alone and that everyone has their own "underground". I am ranting very much like the character in the story does so I will stop here. but let this point be stressed: there is major food for thought in this book and it could change your life! so read it!
