More about the book
The narrative unfolds through the introspective and disillusioned voice of a retired civil servant in St. Petersburg, known as the Underground Man. Initially presented as a monologue, the first part critiques Western philosophy, particularly Chernyshevsky's ideas. The second part, "Apropos of the Wet Snow," delves into pivotal events that challenge and transform the narrator's existence. This work is heralded as a foundational text of existentialism, exploring themes of isolation, identity, and the complexities of human nature.
