Product Description

There is a great doppelganger tradition in literature, but there is nothing is quite like Fyodor Dostoevsky's _The Double_. There is a modern quality in this Russian nightmare -- where much of Dostoevsky shares qualities with Dickens and Tolstoy, The Double reminds us of the work of Kafka or Sartre -- Sartre's 'Nausea' particularly. The novel leaves us with a feeling as though we had partaken of too much vodka: it has a drunken quality to it, and it is a drunken quality it pleases us to share.

About the Author

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 81) is regarded as one of the greatest prose writers of all time. Jeremy Dyson is one of the UK's most successful screenwriters and, with Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, makes up the phenomenally popular The League of Gentlemen. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An early writing., Avril 22 2004
Par Jan Dierckx (Belgium, Turnhout) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Double (Paperback)
'The Double' along with other novels like 'Poor Folk' is from the early period of his writership. The novel is influenced by Gogol and this explains the Fantasy elements of 'The Double' The novel is not so flamboyant like the works he wrote later like 'The Idiot' or 'Crime and Punishment', but if you are interested in the novels of the young Dostoyevsky, 'The Double' is strongly recommended.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Double - Significant, short work of early Dostoyevsky, Janv. 30 2004
Par Matthew M. Yau "Voracious reader" (San Francisco, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Double (Paperback)
Golyadkin is a government clerk who, decreed by fate, encounters a man who not only resembles him exactly but is also his namesake. Golyadkin's own musings and foreshadowing along with his curious actions all afford hints and glimpses of a psychological realism that persists throughout the novel. On a stormy night in which Golyadkin tried to regain his composure after the hails of slights had descended him at a private party of the high society, he met his double. The double (who was subsequently being referred as the Golyadkin junior and the adversary), with bold effrontery, went out his own way to show Golyadkin impudence, insulted Golyadkin, and purloined Golyadkin's papers in order to win approbation of the double's superiors at work.

Like "Notes From Underground", "The Double" is a close examination of human consciousness, through an unreliable narrator. I repeatedly raise the question whether this imposture really happens? Does the Golyadkin junior (the double) really exist in cold fact? What really happens at the end? Perhaps the real horror of Golyadkin senior (whom Dostoyevsky eventually refers him as our hero) is that he unconsciously knows his double simply being the side of his own nature that he disapproves, despises and fears? Regardless of the existence of the double, the imposter has simply trampled Golyadkin in the mire, perfidiously intruded him, and showed clearly that the senior and also the genuine Golyadkin is not genuine at all but a counterfeit, and that Golyadkin junior himself is the real one. The book is a portrait of the darker side of despicable personality that magnifies to the full actuality.
