Notes from Underground & Other Stories (Wordsworth Classics)

This comprehensive collection of Fyodor Dostoevsky's short fiction, "Notes from Underground & Other Stories," offers a glimpse into the darker corners of the human psyche.

With an introduction and notes by David Rampton, this book reveals Dostoevsky's unique blend of philosophical meditations and wild humor.

The stories within explore themes of spiritual stagnation and the solitary and dispossessed, with characters that are both richly complex and deeply flawed.

Through these stories, Dostoevsky shows himself to be a master of psychological insight and a keen observer of human nature.
