Notes From The Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky - FULL AudioBook | GreatestAudioBooks

Scoundrel? Don't be so hard on yourself humans tend to be first me and not before and certainly not after. From what i have learned in 12 months or 20 years is to be as shallow minded as i possibly can like looking in at you and you don't know for sure because you can feel it hear it see it in writings but be convinced its not at all what you are thinking as you are reasured by people you trust that it is defiantly not happening as you are nothing certainly not more than I. But in having learned all this and conclude true and then be told that endless cash is comeing never dose bla bla bla i dont need convincing that you have it in for me and you just cant get enough paying out on a disabled person who has clearly had trouble from birth blah blah over it i am no longer willing.

my time stamps.

I dont mind that society is stuck in a daydream, i mind that i woke up from it.

I think its best to be clueless, i dont think its healthy to realize the true pontlesness of society and life.

I dont wanna wake anyone, but at the same time i need someone to talk to.

I love the eastern european-ism. Like same king😍

A normal man is indeed a stupid man because people take advantage of his easy mind

Even before the first subway train in the world became operational, he already predicted the modern cyberpunk world of Tokyo and Seoul where millions of vacant faces ride the train to their 12 hours a day, 6 days a week monotone office jobs and losing interest in everything else around them. At least every station has vending machines dispensing fully ready ramen noodles if you are hungry though. 😂

O

Excellent

The narrator sounds way older than 40. Pass.

This is giving me Mein Kampf vibes

Which translation?

The tough one

This man is a person that is doomed to get raped in prison, and based on his biography, I would say it had happened before the authorization of this book.

Unfortunately, My Top 1: favorite writer isn't an Englishman 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ans. Literacy varies considerably across gender, regions, and social groups. The literacy rate for women is 16.7% less than the literacy rate for men (Census of India 2011, Provisional). However, female literacy has been rising faster than male literacy, partly because it started from relatively low levels.

The main features of demographic dividend in India are as follows:
1. India has a very young population - that is, majority of Indians average age of Indians is less than that for most other countries.
2. India has a large portion of working age population, i.e. between 15 to 64 years.
3. It has relatively small proportion of old age population to support.
4. The dependent portion of population would turn into working age population in some time, due to demographic transition, thus raising the prospects for growth.

Reasons for the setback of the Family Planning Programme during emergency are as follows: 1.Introduction of a coercive programme of mass sterlisation. 2. A vast number of mostly poor and powerless people were forcibly sterilised. Sterilisation refers to riedical procedures like vasectomy for men and tubectomy for women which prevent conception and childbirth. 3. There was massive pressure on lower level government officials to bring people for sterilisation to the family planning camps, which were organised specially for this purpose. 4. However, there was widespread popular opposition to the programme. Ultimately, this programme was abandoned by the new government eleced after the emergency.

I had the feeling of my conscience talking through a megaphone.

I love this. The intro 😂

I found the whole listen totally dispiriting, as the character was quite loathsome, petty and self absorbed. The narrator's voice, I guess was good, as it seemed to enhance the character's pomposity and irksomeness. I suppose it makes me more aware of my own potential to be self pitying and angry, though I don't think I'd actually be able to read the book, as it seemed so ludicrous for the small sleights to be so grossly over analysed and blown out of all proportion.

Wow, four minutes in and he sounds like the modern motor vehicles clerk😅

There is almost no one who will not find a character to which there is something they can relate to in this book.

Very good narration and translation! I'm happy to listen to this book again after all this years. I remember I've read this book in school in Russian but it had no impact on me since I was a child. Now this book hits different. I want to read all Dostoyevsky books again, I think I will find a new meaning in them since all these years

It's like listening to his brilliant thoughts. It's comforting knowing that mankind is the same as it always was. We always think we are the worst, but it's really just more of the same. I'd rather not change than to progress into a worsened state. I just wish more people would recognize that they're not better than the past. That the past should be learned from and not rejected or resented.

Go to a therapist and just start reading this

Wonderful reading. I think this early translation is also excellent. Thanks for posting.

I think it’s called Notes From Underground. It’s not a collection of stories about the London subway.

Regardless of his literary heritage, 200 years ago Dostoyevsky looked/lookes like one of those Russian bums and alcoholics that we see today - 200 years later - on the streets of every major European cities!
Do we have to have respect for Russian bums because there could be a new Dostoyevsky in each of these drunks?

Its horrible to know this is all true especially today.

'Notes from Underground'

This book literally feels like the narrator is going on one massive monologue just to get things off his chest like a rapper doing a freestyle. Sheesh, I felt him

Thoughts through my first listen:
* this narrator is AMAZING

1 hr in: god this underground man is chasing his tail in circles with his thoughts… I am quite bored listening to his stream of consciousness (sorry I know this isn’t what you’re supposed to say…)

This narrator narrated platos Phaedo, which I listened to a number of times one for its special content and two in pleasure of his excellent narration.

This was written post Moby Dick and appears to deal with Schopenhauer, but that may be because he speaks of will and tries to take down determinism. Amazing writer, muddled fears coming across through muddled presentation of how he takes these ideas. He's such a good writer it's odd for me to use the word "muddled" but that's the philosophy and his fears.
