Sinossi

First published in 1846, The Double: A Petersburg Poem marks one of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s earliest and most daring explorations of the human psyche. Often overshadowed by his later masterpieces, The Double is nevertheless a crucial work in Dostoevsky’s literary evolution — a precursor to the psychological complexity and existential themes that would define Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and Notes from Underground. 
The novella tells the story of Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a low-ranking civil servant whose already fragile identity begins to unravel when he encounters his exact double — a man who is identical in appearance but possesses all the social charm and confidence Golyadkin lacks. What follows is a haunting descent into paranoia, self-alienation, and mental disintegration, all set against the bureaucratic backdrop of 19th-century St. Petersburg.
