Notes From Underground, published in 1864, marks a turning point in Dostoevsky’s writing: it announces the moral political, and social ideas he will treat on a monumental scale in Crime And Punishment, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. And it remains to this day one of the most searingly honest and universal testaments to human despair ever penned.
Ships promptly in corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
