Description
The Possessed, also known as Demons, is Dostoyevsky's most politically charged novel, examining the rise of radical ideology and moral collapse in 19th-century Russia. Through a cast of extremists and manipulators, the novel exposes the spiritual emptiness and destructive consequences of nihilism. Fierce, prophetic, and unsettling, this work remains one of the most relevant novels ever written about political fanaticism.
