About this book

What happens when ideology becomes more dangerous than crime itself? The Possessed (1872), also published as Demons or The Devils, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, is a searing novel of political intrigue, moral corruption, and the destructive power of radical thought. Inspired by real events in 19th-century Russia, the novel follows a group of young revolutionaries whose extremist ideals spiral into conspiracy, manipulation, and murder. At its center is Nikolai Stavrogin, a charismatic yet tormented figure whose influence drives those around him to ruin. Through this powerful narrative, Dostoevsky dissects the allure and danger of nihilism, exposing how unchecked ideology can "possess" individuals and society alike. Dark, satirical, and prophetic, the novel resonates far beyond its time, anticipating the revolutionary violence that would later engulf Russia and the world. Often considered one of Dostoevsky's most challenging works, The Possessed is also one of his most urgent—an uncompromising exploration of freedom, fanaticism, and the fragile line between belief and madness. ?
