Book Reviews of Notes from Underground
Book Review: Dream of a Ridiculous Man
Summary: 4 Stars
The Dream is about one man's struggle with life in a real world. His idea of escape is to kill himself, but just before that he creates the world comletely opposite of ours. He transforms himself onto a planet similar to Earth only in a physical sense. Peple on the other Earth are happy in every aspect of their lives -- they even die happily, knowing that they had served to their community honorably. They are free of corruption and lies until He comes to them. He corrupts that utopia and teaches them how to lie. The people like it and start using it in their lives. After, the wars break out and nothing is the same on that Earth again. After waking up He understands what is wrong and now he is on his way of changing the real Earth. Looking at this piece of literature it might occur that utopia is communism -- many want it , but not many fight for it.
