![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know about the author's other works, so far all i have read between him was these stories and Crime and Punishment, but the whole story was written in the first person. If the book just contained this story alone I would have given this book a lower score. The plot didn't keep my attention (maybe because the author goes into such great detail about the most meaningless things). The Double illustrates Dostoyevsky’s uncanny ability at capturing the complexity of human emotion, especially the darker side of the human psyche. ![]() Considered the most Gogolesque of Dostoyevsky’s works, the novella brilliantly depicts Golyadkin’s descent into madness in a way that is hauntingly poetic. It is the story of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a government clerk who believes that a fellow clerk has taken over his identity and is determined to bring about his ruin. First published in 1846, Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novella The Double is a classic doppelganger and the second major work published by the author. ![]()
