Why The Double?
This was only Dostoevsky's second novel after his sensational debut with "Poor Folk." And an instant failure: critics tore it apart, calling it dull. Dostoevsky took it hard - even in his mature years, he believed it was a brilliant work and tried to rewrite it. What followed were short stories for journals, the unfinished "Netochka Nezvanova," arrest on political charges, exile...
New fame came eventually, of course! The whole world knows "Crime and Punishment," "The Idiot," "The Brothers Karamazov"- but these were written by a mature, hardened man. But what if we could peer into a novel written by a genius in what he used to call "the days of my first youth"?
What awaits you:
St. Petersburg, 1840s. Titular Councillor Yakov Golyadkin meets his double—who begins stealing his life piece by piece. His job. His reputation. His sanity.
