“The Double & The Gambler” brings together two short masterpieces that showcase Dostoevsky’s early psychological brilliance and his later exploration of obsession and risk. “The Double” follows Yakov Golyadkin, a minor clerk in St Petersburg whose life unravels when a charming exact double appears and begins to take over his job, friends and identity, charting a descent into paranoia and madness. “The Gambler” draws on Dostoevsky’s own experience with roulette, telling the story of Alexei Ivanovich, a tutor whose love, pride and addiction play out in a feverish casino world, exposing the destructive pull of chance and desire. This Everyman’s Library edition offers both works in a single, durable volume with an introduction that situates them within Dostoevsky’s development as a novelist.
