Notes from the Underground (AmazonClassics Edition)

More about the book

A bitter, misanthropic man living alone in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the 1860s retires from the Russian civil service after inheriting some money and writes a confused and often contradictory set of memoirs or confessions describing and explaining his alienation from modern society and its nineteenth century utilitarianism as well as his own remorse and self-loathing.
