Book Synopsis

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.
