In my grave

The protagonist - who is one of the most astonishing characters in literature - a former employee withdrew defiantly into an underground life. In complete isolation from society, he writes an emotional, obsessive, and self-contradictory narrative, representing a destructive attack on social utopia and a proof of the irrational nature of man. Richard Bevier and Larisa Volkhonsky, whose translations of Dostoevsky's works have become a standard, provided a wonderful faithful version of this classic novel, conveying all its suffering and tortured comedy.
