Notes from the Underground
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Dostoevsky's underground man is a psychologically tourtured poor clerk, who muses on his 'sickness' and the detested notions of self-interest. Scornful of himself and of others, he recalls finding love at a brothel - but it is a love by his very nature he cannot accept, and so debases instead.
