Notes from Underground and the Double

Description

By Fyodor Dostoevsky

Four shorter works in one volume.

The Double — a minor clerk meets a man identical to himself who is better at being him. White Nights — four nights in St Petersburg between a lonely man and a woman waiting for someone else. Notes from Underground — the confession of a retired civil servant, and the book usually taken as the start of existentialism. The Meek One — a pawnbroker explains his wife’s suicide to himself.
