Sinossi

A confession from the depths of alienation.
In Notes from Underground, Fyodor Dostoevsky gives voice to one of literature's most complex narrators—a retired civil servant living in self-imposed isolation in St. Petersburg. Bitter, intelligent, and deeply self-aware, this unnamed "underground man" delivers a scathing critique of rationalism, utopian ideals, and the illusions of progress.

Blending psychological insight with philosophical reflection, the novella is divided into two parts: the first, a monologue dissecting society and human nature; the second, a series of personal episodes that reveal the narrator's profound loneliness and inability to connect with others.

First published in 1864, this short but powerful work is widely regarded as a precursor to existentialist thought, influencing writers such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Camus.

"One of the most important philosophical works of the 19th century."
– The Guardian

"Dostoevsky's most revolutionary creation—a man at war with himself and the world."
– The New York Times

    In Unravelled the author unpicks the threads of her comically nuclear family with its deep silences to find what lay hidden, never to be spoken of.
    Beneath the carefully woven fabric of her family life, she finds clash of cultures – on one side Jews fleeing the pogroms of Eastern Europe, and on the other the highest levels of the British aristocracy, from the Earl of Erroll of White Mischief fame to the Twenties socialite Mimi Wimborne. The writer and thinker John Berger mysteriously links both worlds. She finds two grandmothers whose bids to find freedom and fulfilment ended in utter disaster. Her parents, shiny young communists of the 1950s airbrushed both women out of history. But what happens when you deny the past? How do you negotiate your sense of identity?

    Returning to her parents’ birthplace in 1994, Pamela Nomvete became a household name as Ntsiki Lukhele, “the bitch”, on a South African soap opera called Generations. 
    But the mirage of luxury and success in which she lived was just that, a mirage. Behind closed doors, she battled her husband’s infidelities, addiction, and spiritual confusion. 
    Dancing to the Beat of the Drum details the traumatic personal crisis Pamela went through as her success grew – a crisis which took everything she had worked for from 
    her – and how she came to re-evaluate her priorities and reconnect with the spiritual side of her life, something she had long neglected.
