This Arcturus Classics edition presents two of Dostoevskys shorter novels in one volume, Notes from the Underground and The Double. Notes from the Underground is a dystopian tale of the Underground Man, a retired civil servant living in St Petersburg who retreats from society. This work is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel and influenced many classic works including Metamorphosis and Invisible Man. The Double tells the story of Golyadkin who, on a bitter snowy night, encounters a stranger who looks exactly like him. They become friends, but then Golyadkin realises that unlike himself, his double is socially successful likeable and charming and thus the relationship starts to deteriorate. Golyadkin is caught up in a psychological battle that can only end in tragedy. These two works draw on Dostoevskys acute observation of Russian life his thoughts on philosophy and social mores and his reactions to the work of Nikolai Gogol. At the heart of both lies Dostoevskys ruminations on the need to establish ones true identity and how society can distort the perception of who one truly is. This edition is presented with a striking contemporary coverdesign, bringing this timeless classic to modern readers.ABOUT THE SERIES The Arcturus Classics series brings together highquality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs.
