I haven't read this edition of these stories, but these two stories are certainly among Dostoevsky's best. Both are incredibly psychological, although "The Double" is admittedly complicated to read as a story. Dostoevsky's absurb humor permeates these texts, and while you laugh in many parts, other parts leave you contemplating for days on their meaning. Both are a good representation of Dostoevsky at his best, in my opinion.
