One of his best critics has said of the first part that it forms his \"most utterly naked pages. Never afterwards was he so fully and openly to reveal the inmost recesses, unmeant for display, of his heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Double\u003c\/em\u003e (1846) is the nightmarish story of Mr Golyadkin, a man who is haunted or possessed by his own double. Is \"Mr Golyadkin junior\" really a double or simply a fearful side of his own nature? This uncertainty is what gives urgency and horror to a tale which may be read as a classic study of human breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46193671962860,"sku":"9780140455120","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780140455120.jpg?v=1739845519","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/notes-from-underground-and-the-double-by-fyodor-dostoyevsky-9780140455120","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
