“Nature does not ask your permission, she has nothing to do with your wishes.”
Using the gloomy, horrid, and inward existential crisis of the spiteful Underground Man, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella Notes from Underground captures the current society’s predominant reliance on rigorous reasoning while also disdaining the natural state of mankind
“I believe that with Notes from the Underground we reach the peak of Dostoevsky's career. I consider this book (and I am not alone) the capstone of his entire work.” — André Gide, Nobel Prize in Literature winner 1947.
