About this listen
"I am a sick man.... I am a spiteful man", a nameless voice cries out. And so, from underground, emerge the passionate confessions of a suffering man; the painful self-examination of a tormented soul; the bristling scorn of a lonely individual who has become one of the greatest anti-heroes in all literature.
In 1864, just prior to the years in which he wrote his greatest novels - Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Possessed, and The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoevsky penned the darkly fascinating Notes from Underground. Its nameless hero is a profoundly alienated individual in whose brooding self-analysis there is a search for the true and the good in a world of relative values and few absolutes. Moreover, the novel introduces themes - moral, religious, political, and social - that dominated Dostoevsky’s later works.
Those who are familiar with his works will immediately recognize the novel's richly complex philosophical, political, and psychological themes; those who are not will find the best introduction to Dostoevsky's grander masterpieces.

Master piece.
The only thing irritating is the voice of the speaker. The rest is pure gold.

Great voice performance
Great voice performance by the narrator, but the novella’s unconventional structure makes it difficult to follow.

Heartbreaking and poetic
The protagonist of the story initially caused me to strongly dislike him - he seemed arrogant in what we would now term an “incel” and social outcast. However, as his character is revealed more fully, I felt keenly his frustration at his social position and inability to fit in; further, his fantasies and desperation garnered my sympathy.
The narration was perfectly suited to the text - every emotion expressed with raw honesty - and vividly added to the experience in a way that a straight reading of the text would lack.
