The Double: A Petersburg Poem

Description

The Double is a novella first released on January 30, 1846 in the Fatherland Notes. It was then revised and reprinted by Fyodor in 1866.

The Double is about a government staff who becomes ireful. It copes with the innate psychological grapple of its protagonist, Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, who habitually meets a person who is his precise double physically but assertive, bellicose, and fulsome, qualities that are the farthest inverses to those of the servile “pushover” lead character. The theme of the novella is a doppelgänger or dvoynik.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky oftentimes spelled as Dostoevsky, was a Russian author, short fiction writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Fyodor’s literary writings cover human psychology in the problematic political, social, and spiritual atmosphere of the 19th century Russia, and participate with different philosophical and religious subject matters.

He started making stories in his 20s, and his first book, Poor Folk, appeared in 1846 when he was 25. His greatly commended novels contain Crime and Punishment in 1866, The Idiot in 1869, Demons in 1872 and The Brothers Karamazov in 1880. Fyodor’s work comprises 11 novels, three novellas, 17 short stories and a number of other writings. Some literary critics reviewed him as among the best psychologists in world literature. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is regarded to be some of the first texts of survivalist literature.
