Notes From Underground
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Natasha Randall
'I am a sick person. I am a spiteful person. An unattractive person, too...'In the depths of a cellar in St. Petersburg, a retired civil servant spews forth a passionate and furious note on the ills of society. The underground man's manifesto reveals his erratic, self-contradictory and even sadistic nature. Yet Dostoyevsky's disturbing character causes an uncomfortable flicker of recognition, and we see in him our own human condition.

“To care only for well-being seems to me positively ill-bred. Whether it's good or bad, it is sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things.”

“The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful.”
