A rare novel of its kind, narrating the life and thoughts of an anti-hero, the Underground Man. As paradoxical and absurd as his actions might be, they implicitly tell a lot about our own lives. Through the protagonist, Dostoevsky explores existential questions, free will and suffering, while wholeheartedly rejecting rationalism.
This book is an emotional journey where you feel compassion, pity, frustration, empathy, and repulsion all at once. I'm glad I read it, but I probably won't read it again.
