To lift his spirits, a colleague suggests he rent a certain video. Tertuliano watches the film, unimpressed. But during the night, when he is awakened by noises in his apartment, he goes into the living room to find that the VCR is replaying the video. He watches in astonishment as a man who looks exactly like him-or, more specifically, exactly like he did five years before, mustachioed and fuller in the face-appears on the screen. He sleeps badly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst his better judgment, Tertuliano decides to pursue his double. As he roots out the man's identity, what begins as a whimsical story becomes a \"wonderfully twisted meditation on identity and individuality\" (The Boston Globe). Saramago displays his remarkable talent in this haunting tale of appearance versus reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e José Saramago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/1\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.98\" H x 6.44\" L x 0.98\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780156032582\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737690276139,"sku":"9780156032582","price":20.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9780156032582_92e16426-8de5-4147-bb77-909741c3e68b.jpg?v=1774822913","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/the-double-jos-saramago-paperback","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
