The Library After Dark

Conscience

Notes from the Underground

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

A retired official in St Petersburg speaks to us from his “underground”, raging against reason, progress and, above all, himself. Short, bitter and in places very funny, it is often called the first existentialist novel. You will not like the narrator; you may recognise him.
