Apuntes del subsuelo
Fiódor Dostoyevski • 1864
Los "Apuntes del subsuelo" son una obra singular que reviste especial atractivo para el lector contemporáneo, pues constituye una de las primeras incursiones de la literatura en el dominio del individuo, en esa corriente de la conciencia con la que habría de familiarizarnos tanto el psicoanálisis como la literatura posterior. Fiódor Dostoyevski (1821-1881) realiza así, en estas páginas, y a través del turbio narrador paralizado por el tedio, una vivisección del que empieza a ser el hombre moderno, el individuo que, descendiente del romanticismo y del racionalismo, se rebela contra ellos dispuesto a ejercer su libre albedrío aun cuando tal ejercicio vaya en contra de la razón y de la conveniencia y pueda incluso redundar en perjuicio de su provecho personal. Traducción de Juan López-Morillas
