With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'anthill' and his gradual withdrawal from society. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who looks exactly like him - his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly tragi-comic study of human consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by Ronald Wilks with an Introduction by Robert Louis Jackson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 8601300102733\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Russian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51222569189680,"sku":"PrakashBooks_9780140455120","price":375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81aAJMrr3ZL.jpg?v=1774495283","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/notes-from-underground-and-the-double","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
