Notes from Underground; The Double
Notes from Underground (1864) is a study of a single character, "the real man of the Russian majority", and a revelation of Dostoyevsky's own deepest beliefs. 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."
The Double, Dostoyevsky's second novel, is the nightmarish story of a man haunted or possessed by his exact double. Is the double really a double or simply another side of his own nature? This uncertainty is what gives the ultimate horror to a tale which may be read as a classic study of human breakdown.
