Description
A darkly comedic novel of Russian society's darker side, The Little Demon tells the story of Peredonov, a schoolteacher whose descent into madness and depravity is both shocking and hilarious. As he pursues his ambitions, his fantasies become increasingly twisted and violent. Published in 1907 to immediate success, this novel marked a turning point in Fyodor Sologub's life, allowing him to leave his teaching career behind and focus on literature. A searing satire of the spiritual bankruptcy of society, The Little Demon is considered one of the finest Russian novels of the Symbolist movement. Translated by Ronald Wilks for Penguin Classics, this edition brings Sologub's dark masterpiece back into print for a new generation of readers to discover.
