Notes From Underground

Notes from Underground is a powerful read. It's not just about nihilism or existential despair; it dives deep into the mind of someone who's completely disconnected from society and himself. Dostoevsky explores how people get trapped in their own contradictions and self-loathing, making it a mirror to a lot of the dark sides of human nature. The underground man's bitterness and detachment feel real and relatable in a way that forces you to reflect on your own life. It's a sharp critique of society and self-delusion, and it really gets you thinking about freedom, purpose, and what it all means. That's what makes it stand out—how it shows you life from such an honest, raw perspective. Definitely a masterpiece.
