With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the ''anthill'' and his gradual withdrawal from society. A masterly tragi-comic study of human consciousness, translated by Ronald Wilks.
"That sense of the meaninglessness of existence that runs through much of twentieth-century writing—from Conrad and Kafka, to Beckett and beyond—starts in Dostoyevsky''s work." —Malcolm Bradbury
