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

What if your greatest enemy was yourself?

In The Double, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers a haunting psychological drama about paranoia, identity, and the unraveling of the human mind. The story follows Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, a lonely, anxious government clerk who suddenly encounters his exact double-an uncanny twin who mirrors his appearance but possesses all the charm, confidence, and success that he lacks.

At first, Golyadkin is fascinated by his doppelgänger. But as the double begins to infiltrate his life, taking his place at work, charming his colleagues, and manipulating those around him, Golyadkin spirals into madness, unable to determine whether his nightmare is real or the result of his own fractured psyche.
