From the preface: "The Petersburg period of the beginning of his (Dostoevsky's) literary career seems to have been unusually stormy in sexual relations. Here, his sensuality pushed him not only to decent women, but "lost, but lovely creatures" were also not forgotten... So, he complains to his brother in a letter: "Minushki, Clarushki, Mariannas have become extremely prettier, but they are worth terrible money." The author analyzes Dostoevsky's personal novels and casual relationships and the influence of the writer's "sexual energy" on his work. "The Underground of Genius" is a study based on the famous theory of psychoanalysis of Z. Freud.
