Descripción
Written by a Dostoevsky on the verge of his great novels, Notes from Underground appears to us as a grotesque dialogue between the political-intellectual generations of the 1840s and 1860s. The work exposes the two particular voices of the dialogue between these factions in two equally differentiated parts, in a sort of symbolic diptych.
One hundred and sixty years after its publication, Notes from Underground continues to reveal itself as a work as uncomfortable as it is suggestive, continuing to pose questions of great relevance to our life in society and continuing to draw us in with its vigorous and groundbreaking style. A style that ironically disarticulates the pillars of European Enlightenment thought that had penetrated Russian intellectuality since the 18th century.
Notes from Underground can help us understand and contextualize many of the arguments underlying the sociocultural construction of contemporary Russia and its relationship with Western Europe.
Translated by Lydia Kúper and with a foreword by Miquel Cabal Guarro.
