Notes from Underground and the Double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - Paperback Paperback – Big Book, 28 April 2009

I bought this for a philosophy class that focused on Dostoevsky's "Notes from the House of the Dead" and "Notes from the Underground". Both of them were Penguin Classics and I have to say the translations were really good. This book includes an essay on "Underground" and "Double" which was also a really neat read. The footnotes were pretty good, although sometimes they feel a bit thin. Great read!

Book condition was eh, the cover spine was broken in alrdy and had wrinkles.

It was bit difficult to follow, especially the Double. I'll have to read it again.I didn't find the notes from the underground too depressing, but rather a little bit relatable. It's amazing how the author articulately tells us what's going on in his mind.

It came in an excellent condition with a box. Packed really nicely.

This book was wonderful, it is a precursor of existentialist novels and it offers a deep insight of "the man from the underground"to read before crime and punishment and the brothers Karamazov !
