What if your greatest enemy was yourself?In The Double, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers a haunting psychological drama about paranoia, identity, and the unraveling of the human mind. The story follows Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a lonely, anxious government clerk who suddenly encounters his exact double-an uncanny twin who mirrors his appearance but possesses all the charm, confidence, and success that he lacks.At first, Golyadkin is fascinated by his doppelgänger. But as the double begins to infiltrate his life, taking his place at work, charming his colleagues, and manipulating those around him, Golyadkin spirals into madness, unable to determine whether his nightmare is real or the result of his own fractured psyche.What You’ll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Gripping Psychological Thriller - Experience one of Dostoevsky’s earliest and most unsettling explorations of paranoia and self-destruction.A Profound Study of Identity and Madness - Witness how the battle between self-doubt and self-confidence can drive a man to the edge of insanity.A Masterpiece in a Fresh, Readable Style - This modern adaptation preserves the intensity of Dostoevsky’s prose while making it accessible to contemporary readers.A Chilling Tale of Existential Horror - Delve into the dark depths of the human psyche in a novel that prefigures the themes of Kafka, Orwell, and modern psychological fiction.More than just a psychological thriller, The Double is a deep, unsettling meditation on self-perception, isolation, and the terror of losing one’s own identity.Is Golyadkin truly being replaced, or is he simply losing his mind?Get your copy today and step into one of Dostoevsky’s most haunting and fascinating novels.
