The Double
(Jose Saramago)
Tertuliano Maximo Afonso is depressed. He lives alone, teaches history and is only halfheartedly commited to his girlfriend, Maria da Paz. His spirit has disolved into perpetual inertia. That is until one night he watches a movie and sees upon the screen a man who looks exactly like him, his twin in every physical way. His double.
He rents and watches all the movies he can find that may have his double in them. He writes to the production company requesting information about the actor. Finally he tracks the man down to his home address, wearing a disguise and observing him from afar. Consumed with curiosity, Tertuliano is ready to risk everything to meet this man face to face and find out who he is. As the suspense builds, the book promises and delivers a thoughtful and chilling ending.
