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 successful
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. The Double, Dostoevsky's second published
work of fiction, which foreshadows in its themes many of his mature
novels, is the surreal and hallucinatory tale of an unfortunate
anti-hero, at once chilling in its depiction of the dark sides of
human nature and exuberantly comical.
