The Double by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Written in 1864, this novel is the first and strangest of Dostoevsky's masterpieces - and the source of those that followed. Violating literary conventions in ways never before attempted, this classic tells of a mid-19th-century Russian official's breakaway from society and descent "underground". The painfully awkward civil servant, Mr. Golyadkin, encounters a man who is his double in every way...
Fyodor Dostoevsky Notes from Underground was first published in January and February of 1864 as the featured presentation in the first two issues of The Epoch, Dostoevsky’s second journal of the 1860s. The novel was written at one of the lowest points of Dostoevsky’s career. His first journal, Time, had recently failed, his new journal was threatened with failure, his wife was dying, his financial position was becoming ever more difficult and embarrassing, his conservatism was eroding his popularity with the liberal majority of the reading public..
Underground Humour in Nazi Germany: 1933-1945, F. K. M. Hillenbrand compiles a collection of jokes, stories and cartoons representing covert popular opposition which took humorous form. Even this was dangerous, as an ill-judged moment of wit could lead to the camps; but the Nazis themselves recognized the impossibility of stopping anti-Nazi jokes.
A fantastic publication focusing on lowbrow and underground comix artists. Only lasted 9 issues before being replaced by Juxtapos Magazine as `the` counterculture art mag. Chock full of amazing paintings and drawings. A must have for fans of the lowbrow/underground art scene.
