Notes from Underground is a psychological and philosophical novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in 1864. The book is written as a fictional memoir of an unnamed narrator, often referred to as the "Underground Man."

The novel explores existentialism, free will, human irrationality, and the conflict between intellect and emotion. The Underground Man serves as an anti-hero, embodying contradictions and deep psychological turmoil. His confessions expose the complexities of lhuman nature and the struggle for meaning in an indifferent world. This book is considered one of the first existentialist novels and has influenced writers such as Nietzsche, Sartre, and Kafka.
