More about the book

Exploring themes of existentialism and the conflict between determinism and free will, the novella features an unnamed narrator who embodies a pessimistic misanthrope. In the first part, he critiques contemporary philosophical schools like utilitarianism and positivism, influenced by Nikolay Chernyshevsky. The second part shifts towards a narrative format, recounting the narrator's struggles with social interactions and feelings of alienation, ultimately culminating in his indecision about concluding his reflections.
