{"product_id":"9781847496034","title":"The Double: New Translation - Hugh Aplin","description":"\u003cp\u003eConstantly rebuffed from the social circles he aspires to frequent, the timid clerk Golyadkin is confronted by the sudden appearance of his double, a more brazen, confident and socially successful version of himself, who abuses and victimizes the original. As he is increasingly persecuted, Golyadkin finds his social, romantic and professional life unravelling, in a spiral that leads to a catastrophic denouement. The Double, Dostoevsky's second published work of fiction, which foreshadows in its themes many of his mature novels, is the surreal and hallucinatory tale of an unfortunate anti-hero, at once chilling in its depiction of the dark sides of human nature and exuberantly comical.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugh Aplin","offers":[{"title":"224 pages \/ 25\/08\/2016 \/ Classic fiction (pre c 1945)","offer_id":57110740009335,"sku":"9781847496034","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781847496034_96c0e3d2-6d05-47c9-9a8b-243f00b3333d.jpg?v=1781004339","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781847496034","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
