"Notes From the Underground" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a deep dive into the conflicted mind of an unnamed narrator, often referred to as the Underground Man. This character grapples with intense self-loathing, existential angst, and a relentless critique of society. Written in the mid-19th century, the book is split into two parts: the first is a monologue that explores his philosophical ruminations, and the second recounts interactions that highlight his struggles with connecting to others. It’s a powerful, thought-provoking read that questions the nature of free will, individualism, and human nature.
