Описание книги
Doppelgänger consists of two stories that skillfully revisit the question of doubles (famously explored by Stevenson, Dostoyevsky and others), and how an individual is perpetually caught between their own beliefs and those imposed on them by society. Arthur and Isabella is a story of the relationship between two elderly people who meet on New Years Eve a romantic encounter which turns into a grotesque portrayal of the loneliness of old age. The second story Pupi a strange mirror of the first centres on the life of a man who ends up on the streets and associates only with streetsellers the rhinoceroses in the zoo. Together these tales crate the highly original atmosphere that Drndi is famous for in all her works.
