A retired clerk in St Petersburg — spiteful, intelligent, sick, as he tells us at once — argues for forty pages against reason, progress and the idea that people will act in their own interest, and then tells the story of a humiliation from his youth. Fyodor Dostoyevsky published the work in 1864; it stands at the threshold of his great novels.

This edition uses the English translation by Constance Garnett, first published in 1918.
