From the book of Lev Isaakovich Shestov "On the scales of Job":
"" Notes from Underground "- one of the most remarkable works of not only Russian, but also world literature. In this small things, as you know, everybody saw, and still want to see only the" conviction. "Somewhere in the underground there are so pathetic, sick, unhappy, resentful fate, abnormal people, who in their senseless bitterness reach Herculean pillars of denial. And though it's only now, today, there are such people, but above them all and was not. True , Dostoevsky himself did much to promote this kind of interpretation, he even tells him in made it to the "Notes" note. And maybe he was with the truth and sincerity. Truth, like those who have opened the underground man, by its very origin are that they can make, but it is impossible and there is no need to make them the subject of a general, permanent wealth. They, as I have already pointed out, you can not even make their property to whomever they opened. Dostoevsky himself until his death are not known reliably, whether he saw something that told in "Notes from Underground" or he raved in reality, hallucinations and ghosts posing as reality. Because so unique and manner of presentation of the "underground" man, because he denies each successive phrase and laughs last. That is why this strange series and even a mixture of sudden, inexplicable delight and ecstasy with immense, too inexplicable despair. He just broke with rapids and headlong, rushing at breakneck speed into a bottomless abyss. Never experienced a joyful feeling of flying and fear of groundless, before consuming the abyss. "
