Book Reviews of Notes From Underground: 150th Anniversary Edition
Book Review: "I am a sick man..."
Summary: 4 Stars
Dostoyevsky led a troubled life and struggled with the questions of suffering and the meaning of life. The opening line of Notes From Underground sums it up, "I am a sick man..." Underground is difficult reading, especially for such a short book. It is all over the place with many different streams of consciousness. It appears to be very autobiographical and this is what was the most value to me. If you are a fan of Dostoyevsky, this is essential reading, because it will give you insight into the man and help you understand his more popular works better. The short story "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man," also significantly contributes to an understanding of the man.
On a side note, the included short stories "White Nights" and selections from "The House of the Dead," were interesting stories that can stand on their own.
In short, this is recommended for fans of Dostoyevsky, but the average reader might want to avoid.
