The Double: A Haunting Tale of Identity, Madness, and the Human Psyche

What if the stranger haunting your life… was you?

The Double is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s unnerving exploration of psychological breakdown, obsession, and the split self.

When Yakov Golyadkin, an anxious, low-level bureaucrat, encounters a man identical to him in appearance but opposite in personality, his world begins to unravel. This double not only infiltrates his life but begins to replace him in every way.

What follows is a disturbing and poignant descent into paranoia, self-loathing, and existential dread. Is the double a supernatural force, a projection of suppressed desires, or a symptom of madness?

What you’ll discover inside:

- A Chilling Psychological Drama – A tale of identity theft by one's own reflection.

- Themes of Madness and Alienation – A haunting look at isolation and the fractured mind.

- A Timeless Parable of Inner Conflict – Dostoevsky’s enduring insight into self and sanity.

- A Modern Translation – Updated for clarity while staying true to the original vision.

Join Golyadkin on his haunting journey and decide for yourself—who is the real man, and who is the shadow?
