Notes From Underground《地下室手记》是俄国作家陀思妥耶夫斯基中篇小说集，包含Notes from Underground《地下室手记》、White Nights《白夜》、The Dream of a Ridiculous Man《荒唐人的梦》，以及The House of the Dead《死屋手记》选段。
Notes From Underground《地下室手记》体现了陀思妥耶夫斯基诗学的全部艺术特色，内容深刻，形式诡异，既像小说，又像忏悔录，又像哲学论文。作品主人公既像坏人，又像好人；既像小人，又像一个饱经沧桑、逆来顺受的人；既像英雄，又像“非英雄”，又什么都不像。……“地下室人”被认为是“自我中心主义者的典型”，但是又有人认为，“地下室人”是俄国的哈姆雷特，是“多余人”的当代变形。陀思妥耶夫斯基是他那个时代的“真理的探求者”。
陀思妥耶夫斯基的作品《地下室手记》，对别人的心灵做近似临床的研究并加以洞察。这种客观态度，不过是一种外观，实际上他的创作毋宁说是一种心理抒情诗……是忏悔。是使血液凝固的自白，是无情地披露自己良心的罪恶底蕴。

A collection of powerful stories by one of the masters of Russian literature, illustrating Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s thoughts on political philosophy, religion and above all, humanity.

From the primitive peasant who kills without understanding that he is destroying a human life, to the anxious antihero ofNotes From Underground—a man who both craves and despises affection—this volume and its often-tormented characters showcase Dostoyevsky’s evolving outlook on man’s fate. The compelling works presented here were written at distinct periods in the author’s life, at decisive moments in his groping for a political philosophy and a religious answer. Thomas Mann described Dostoyevsky as “an author whose Christian sympathy is ordinarily devoted to human misery, sin, vice, the depths of lust and crime, rather than to nobility of body and soul”—andNotes From Undergroundas “an awe-and-terror-inspiring example of this sympathy.”

Translated and with an Afterword by Andrew R. MacAndrew With an Introduction by Ben Marcus

费奥多尔·米哈伊洛维奇·陀思妥耶夫斯基（1821～1881）是19世纪群星灿烂的俄国文坛上一颗耀眼的明星，与列夫·托尔斯泰、屠格涅夫等人齐名，是俄国文学的卓越代表，他所走过的是一条极为艰辛、复杂的生活与创作道路，是俄国文学史上非常复杂、矛盾的作家之一。即如有人所说“托尔斯泰代表了俄罗斯文学的广度，陀思妥耶夫斯基则代表了俄罗斯文学的深度”。陀思妥耶夫斯基终生关注俄罗斯民族的终极救赎问题，曾因参与革命活动被判死刑，在行刑前被赦免，一生被癫痫病和酗酒困扰。他在写作中体验了十九世纪非常深刻的精神危机，代表作为《罪与罚》《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》和《白痴》。

Fyodor Dostoyevsky(1821-81) was educated in Moscow and at the School of Military Engineers in St. Petersburg, where he spent four years. In 1844 he resigned his Commission in the army to devote himself to literature. In 1846, he wrote his first novel, which won immediate critical and popular success. At the age of twenty-seven he was arrested for belonging to a socialist group and condemned to death, but at the last moment, his sentence was commuted to prison in Siberia. In 1859, he was granted full amnesty and allowed to return to St. Petersburg. In the fourteen years before his death on January 28, 1881, Dostoyevsky produced his greatest works includingCrime and Punishment,The Idiot, andThe Possessed.
