Notes from Underground, also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld, is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done? The second part of the book is called "Apropos of the Wet Snow" and describes certain events that appear to be destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator and anti-hero

This book has a very controversial past, due to offensive wording. From Wikipedia: "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in 1884. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism."

Every one of us has a memory we can't escape-a catastrophic failure that forces us to question who we really are. What if the shame you suppress, the guilt you bury, took a seat in your life? For performer Vesper, that shame materialized as The Witness, an empty chair in his sealed dressing room, silently judging his every move. But that chair is not empty; it holds the relentless judgment of the inner critic you can never silence. What happens when the voice inside your head finally takes physical form in your reality? This is the story of how your own hidden guilt can consume your entire existence, turning your world into a prison and forcing you to face the terrifying question: If you are fighting a war against the reflection of your own mind, how do you ever win the fight?
