Notes from the Underground

By: Fyodor Dostoyevski

Narrated by: George Doyle

"Notes from the Underground" (1864) by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator, 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, unreliable narrator and anti-hero.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

it left me perplexed .

I was left feeling uneven at the end but I think that's what I liked about the story
most .
the narrator did have a crack or somthing in his voice at one point that made me think the narrator changed but other than that he was a good choice in narrator in my opinion.
