Dostoevsky's novella Notes from the Underground is part embittered monologue and part brief descriptions of anecdotes from the anonymous writer's life. As the author himself states:

"The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary. Nevertheless, it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed."

The Russia of the mid 19th century was a period in which the society was awash with a myriad of philosophical ideas as it became increasingly influenced by the West. The writer instinctively reacts against Utopian ideals and sees in himself the proof that such a philosophy is doomed.

Head Stories Audio presents Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky, narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
