Soy un hombre ridículo. Ahora me llaman loco. Sería un título superior si no continuaran considerándolo ridículo. Pero ahora, yo no me enfado, ni cuando se burlan de mí... El narrador se presenta a sí mismo como un hombre ridículo y solitario, cuya situación absurda surge de la convicción de que la existencia carece de sentido. Eso lo coloca en una posición de nihilismo negativo, hasta el punto de llegar a afirmar que todo le es indiferente y que las cosas no son más que apariencias, de modo que nunca existió o existirá nada más que en función de él mismo.
Author
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, and journalist. His literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest novelists in all of world literature, as multiple of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature. As such, he is also looked upon as a philosopher and theologian as well.
