Notes from Underground and the Double
Sinopsis
That sense of the meaninglessness of existence that runs through much of twentieth-century writing - from Conrad and Kafka, to Beckett and beyond - starts in Dostoyevskys work Malcolm Bradbury
Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevskys Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter irony, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the anthill and his gradual withdrawal from society. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who looks exactly like him - his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly tragi-comic study of human consciousness.
Translated by Ronald Wilks with an Introduction by Robert Louis Jackson
