Notes from the Underground is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
It is considered by many to be the world's first existentialist
novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs
of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by
critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant
living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in
monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks
emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's
What Is to Be Done?. The second part of the book is called "Apropos
of the Wet Snow," and describes certain events that, it seems, are
destroying, and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as
a first person, omniscient narrator.
