The Double (Aziloth Books) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781907523373)

The Double charts the psychological collapse of Yakov Golyadkin, an awkward, angst-ridden office-worker in St Petersburg. Golyadkin suddenly becomes aware that his office contains a Double of himself, a creature who floats effortlessly through life, well respected and surrounded by admiring friends. Disturbingly, no one but Golyadkin seems aware of this startling state of affairs, further straining the troubled bureaucrat's tenuous hold on sanity. But is the Double real, or is it perhaps - as Dostoyevsky's brilliantly ambiguous script seems to imply - simply one of the many 'voices' that exist within Golyadkin himself?
