Samenvatting:

A ground-breaking new translation of Dostoyevsky's most radical work of fiction. The audiobook will be read by DBC Pierre - a true original and an ideal fit

In the depths of a cellar in St. Petersburg, a civil servant spews forth a passionate and furious note on the ills of society. The underground man's manifesto reveals his erratic, self-contradictory and even sadistic nature. Yet in Dostoyevsky's most radical and disturbing character, there is the uncomfortable flicker of recognition of the human condition.

When the narrator ventures above ground, he attends a dinner with a group of old school friends. It is here, paralysed by his own social awkwardness, that he carries out extraordinary acts and cements his status as a true and original outsider.

This audio edition is narrated by DBC Pierre whose passion and identification with the book promise a breathtaking new interpretation.
