Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

The narrative deals with the psychology of a man who is the victim of social injustice yet does not take any action to alter his fate. His failure to realize that there are others like him increases his feelings of alienation. An elaboration of the inferiority complex that is suffered by him is given by dwelling on his personality traits.

Biografía del autor

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) was a Russian writer and essayist, best known for his novels Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky's literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society. Considered by many as a founder or precursor of 20th-century existentialism, Dostoyevsky wrote, with the embittered voice of the anonymous "underground man", Notes from Underground (1864), which was called the "best overture for existentialism ever written" by Walter Kaufmann. Dostoyevsky is often acknowledged by critics as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.
