The Double

Двойник. Петербургская поэма

Retrato de Fiódor Dostoievski, por Vasili Perov
byFyodor Dostoevsky

Subtitled 'A Petersburg Poem', it tells how the clerk Yakov Golyadkin, timid and hungry for recognition, meets a man identical to himself who gradually takes over his post, his friends and his life, until he is committed to an asylum. It baffled the critics and Belinsky; Dostoevsky revised it for the 1866 edition. It is his first exploration of the divided consciousness that would dominate his great novels.
