Overview

This striking pocket hardback edition presents Fyodor Dostoevsky's classic novel, Notes from Underground, featuring silver cover embossing and gilded page-edges.

Notes from Underground is a dystopian tale of the Underground Man, a retired civil servant living in St Petersburg who retreats from society. This work is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel and influenced many classic works including Metamorphosis and Invisible Man.

The tale draws on Dostoevsky's acute observation of Russian life; his thoughts on philosophy and social mores; and his reactions to the work of Nikolai Gogol. At its heart lies Dostoevsky's rumination on the need to establish one's true identity and how society can distort the perception of who one truly is.

This beautiful pocket-sized gift edition contains the classic translation by Constance Garnett and features a fascimile of Dostoevsky's signature on the title page for added collector's appeal. It is handsomely presented with an embossed cover design, ivory pages, beautifully designed endpapers and silver gilded page edges.
