The Three Titular Advisors (Dostoevsky's "Double")

Russian literature has captivated the masses with such great dramas that the case of the hero of the novel "The Double" seems to them quite insignificant. But despite this, for more than a hundred years now, the great controversy surrounding this novel and the nightmarish incident with the titular councilor Yakov Petrovich Golyadkin, which occurred on the Fontanka embankment in the capital city of Petersburg, in November, in rain and snow, late at night... Leaning on the railings that had been erected along the Fontanka, Yakov Petrovich was experiencing perhaps the most terrible moments of his life. Having just been thrown out of the house of the state councilor Berendeyev, he was ready to disappear altogether, to collapse into the ground, to cease to exist, to turn into dust... But none of this happened, but an extraordinary and puzzling incident occurred: the titular councilor met his double on the banks of the murky and even black Fontanka River.
