Description
Demons, a chilling and prophetic novel, explores the darker side of revolutionary fanaticism. In this new translation, Dostoyevsky's powerful and savage portrayal of a Russian revolutionary cell is brought to life.
The novel follows the leaders of the cell, who aim to overthrow the Tsar and seize power for themselves. As the group trains terrorists willing to sacrifice themselves for their cause, a sinister threat emerges, forcing them to confront the true cost of their actions.
Written in response to a real-life political murder, Demons is a scathing indictment of those who use violence to serve their beliefs. With its lively and often comic tone, this gripping novel remains a thought-provoking and unsettling read.
