- Summary
- "Mr. Golyadkin is a rather middling man, a somewhat insignificant government official. Then one day he meets his 'double' - a man with the same name, face and background. Initially charmed by the coincidence, Golyadkin soon notices a discernible cooling in the reaction of his friends and colleagues towards him, whilst his double seems to grow in popularity. Unable to escape the relentless presence of 'Golyadkin junior', suddenly the most ordinary activities - eating out, going to a party - take on a terrifying significance, and Golyadkin finds himself on the brink of breakdown."--Jacket.
