Notes from Underground (1864) is a seminal existential novella narrated by a bitter, unnamed “underground man” whose self-imposed isolation and philosophical rants against rationalism and free will dissect the torment of human consciousness.
The Gambler (1866), written under financial duress, mirrors Dostoyevsky’s own obsession with roulette, portraying Alexei Ivanovich’s destructive spiral in a German casino, intertwined with a toxic love affair.
The Easton Press edition elevates these classics with full leather binding, 22-karat gold accents, and moiré silk endpapers—a fitting tribute to Dostoyevsky’s dark brilliance.
