Book •
The Man from the Underground is a novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky that delves into the mind of an unnamed underground man, a cynical and intellectual individual who rebels against reason and societal norms.

The novella explores themes of alienation, nihilism, and the complexities of human psychology.

Through the underground man's rambling thoughts and reflections, Dostoevsky critiques rationalism and explores the irrational aspects of human existence.

The novella's exploration of free will and determinism remains relevant and thought-provoking.

Its impact on existentialist thought is significant.
