"The Brothers Karamasov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture.

This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal
inventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel."

The Double: The Original 1846 Fyodor Dostoevsky Novel

The Double: The Original 1846 Fyodor Dostoevsky Novel

Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky
Tags: #135, #135 Scholé Every Day, Abby Wahl

‘This, gentlemen, is my rule: if I fail I don’t lose heart, if I succeed I persevere, and in any case I am never underhand. I’m not one to intrigue - and I’m proud of it.!’

First published in 1846, The Double is one of the finest of Dostoevsky’s shorter works. It is a doppelgänger literature classic.

The morbidly sensitive and pretentious clerk Golyadkin, who is already mentally disturbed due to the social demands of his employment and unrequited love, develops a persecution mania, which leads him to meet another man who looks precisely like him and is the leader of a conspiracy against him. A series of encounters with this being eventually drives him insane and lands him in an asylum.
