Description
By Fyodor Dostoevsky
Two short novels in the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation. In The Double, a minor official named Golyadkin becomes aware of a man with his name and his face who is better at his life than he is, and who is steadily taking it over. It anticipates Kafka by seventy years.
The Gambler was written in twenty-six days to pay off a publisher, by a man who was himself ruinously addicted to roulette, and it shows in every line of it.
