  A boy of enormous self-regard descends through a Siberian hole into a world of Wind Eaters, Rat Men and a city where nothing is what it announces. Ingersoll Lockwood wrote it in 1893 as a burlesque of the boys' travel book, and the joke is on the narrator throughout. It has acquired a strange modern fame; the book itself is a period comedy about bumptiousness.

  Notes from Underground

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

  "I am a sick man... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man."
  
  From the dark, damp recesses of a crawlspace in St. Petersburg, a retired civil servant launches a scathing attack on the modern world. The "Underground Man" is one of literature's first and greatest anti-heroes—a man who chooses to be miserable, spiteful, and irrational simply to prove that he is free. In a world obsessed with logic, progress, and "enlightened self-interest," he stands as a disturbing reminder that human beings will often destroy their own happiness just to assert their individuality.
  
  A War Against Rationality: The Underground Man's primary target is the "Palace of Crystal"—a metaphor for a perfect, scientifically organized society where all human needs are met. Dostoevsky argues that such a world would be a prison. Through his protagonist's chaotic internal monologue, he asserts that man's "most advantageous advantage" is the freedom to act against his own interests, even if it leads to suffering.
  
  A Tragic Human Encounter: The second half of the book moves from philosophy to a painful, cringe-inducing narrative. We see the Underground Man in his youth, attempting to assert power over his former schoolmates and the vulnerable prostitute, Liza. These encounters reveal the true tragedy of the "underground": the paralyzing self-consciousness and vanity that make it impossible for a man to love or be loved.
  
  The Mirror of the Modern Mind: Notes from Underground is a bridge between the classic novels of the 19th century and the modernist masterpieces of the 20th. It is a raw, uncomfortable, and essential read for anyone who has ever felt at odds with the "logical" flow of society. It is a scream from the depths of the human spirit that still resonates today.
  
  Dare to look into the underground. Purchase "Notes from Underground" today and confront the darker side of freedom.

  Valancy Stirling is twenty-nine, unmarried and bullied by a clan of relatives, and a doctor's letter tells her she has a year to live — so she says what she thinks, moves out, and proposes to the most disreputable man in the county. Montgomery wrote one of her only two novels for adults in 1926 and set it in Ontario rather than the island. The diagnosis is not the twist; what Valancy does with it is.
