Publisher's Synopsis
Dostoevsky's nameless anti-hero is a contradictory, self-destructive, cynical character. He is reflective, aware of his situation, but lacks any sense of direction. And that makes him literally antisocial. The hermit lives in a poor basement apartment and philosophizes about modern man and his faults and shortcomings. In the process, he becomes permanently entangled in contradictions. Gröls Classics - English Edition
