The Double
Fyodor Dostoevsky
ISBN: 9781847493019
(PB - E)
€
One of the most accessible and entertaining works by the author of 'Crime and Punishment' and 'The Karamazov Brothers'. Includes pictures and an extensive section of Dostoevsky's life and works. Translated by acclaimed Russian specialist, Hugh Aplin. Constantly rebuffed from the social circles he aspires to frequent, the timid clerk Golyadkin is confronted by the sudden appearance of his double, a more brazen, confident and socially succesful version of himself, who abuses and victimizes the original. As he is increasingly persecuted, Golyadkin finds his social, romantic and professional life unravelling, in a spiral that leads to a catastrophic denouement.
