This elegant pocket-sized hardback presents Fyodor Dostoevsky?s classic Notes from the Underground, featuring silver embossing on the cover and gilded page edges. The novel follows the Underground Man, a retired civil servant in St?Petersburg who withdraws from society, offering one of literature?s first explorations of existentialist thought and influencing works such as Metamorphosis and Invisible Man. Drawing on Dostoevsky?s keen observations of Russian life, philosophy, and social mores, the book examines identity, isolation, and the pressures society exerts on the individual. This edition features the classic Constance Garnett translation with ivory pages and decorative endpapers.
