El Doble

Publisher Marketing: La obra gira en torno a la vida de un funcionario del Estado ruso, Yakov Petrovich Goliadkin, a quien, al ser rechazado en una comida que ofrecia su jefe por el cumpleanos de su hija, su personalidad se parte y enfrenta una despiadada lucha interna que enfrenta a un (super) Goliadkin con la realidad (con el Goliadkin de carne y hueso). La obra de El Doble contiene aspectos burocraticos, existencialistas y aborda el tema de la libertad en un tono ironico y malvado. El Doble no es mas que la libertad manifestada en el deseo, el desenfreno o el engano." Contributor Bio:  Dostoyevsky, Fyodor Fyodor Dostoyevsky was a Russian novelist, short story writer and essayist whose literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual context of nineteenth-century Russia. A student of the the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute, Dostoyevsky initially worked as an engineer, but began translating books to earn extra money. The publication of his first novel, Poor Folk, allowed him to join St. Petersburg s literary circles. A prolific writer, Dostoyevsky is best known for work from the latter part of his career, including the classic novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoyevsky s influence extends to authors as diverse as Anton Chekhov, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and Jean-Paul Sartre, among many others. He died in 1881.
