Items related to The double (Classic Edition)
The Double centers on a government clerk who goes mad. It deals with the internal psychological struggle of its main character, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, who repeatedly encounters someone who is his exact double in appearance but confident, aggressive, and extroverted, characteristics that are the polar opposites to those of the toadying "pushover" protagonist. The motif of the novella is a doppelgänger (Russian "dvoynik"), known throughout the world in various guises such as the fetch.

Review:
'It's the very complexity of ideas that the notion of a Double throws up that makes this short novel so engaging and ultimately still so pertinent.' --Jeremy Dyson
