Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky's disturbing and groundbreaking novella appears in this new annotated edition with an Introduction by Charles Guignon and Kevin Aho. An analogue of Guignon's widely praised Introduction to his 1993 edition of "The Grand Inquisitor," the editors' Introduction places the underground man in the context of European modernity, analyzes his inner dynamics in the light of the history of Russian cultural and intellectual life, and suggests compelling reasons for our own strange affinity for this nameless man who boldly declares, "I was rude and took pleasure in being so.”A timely re-issue of the Notes with an Introduction that is a lively and informative invitation to engage with Dostoevsky's text--Raymond Boisvert, Department of Philosophy, Siena College
Charles B Guignon is Professor of Philosophy, The University of South Florida. Charles Guignon is Professor of Philosophy, University of South Florida.
