Motivado por um episódio verídico - o assassinato do estudante I. I. Ivanov pelo grupo niilista liderado por S. G. Nietcháiev em 1869 -, Os demônios, escrito no ano seguinte, é a única obra de Dostoiévski concebida com fins assumidamente panfletários. Entretanto, ao recriar ficcionalmente aquele evento, o escritor acabou compondo uma obra-prima à altura de Crime e castigo e Os irmãos Karamázov, que é também um estudo em profundidade do pensamento político, social, filosófico e religioso de seu tempo.
Com incrível lucidez e rara compreensão da história, este romance - pela primeira vez traduzido a partir do original russo - chega a ser profético. Nele o leitor poderá vislumbrar, no drama intelectual de Kiríllov, a antecipação do Zaratustra de Nietzsche, e, nas ideias de Chigalióv e Piotr Stiepánovitch, os cruéis fanatismos de Hitler e Stálin. Numa época em que a violência, a ignorância, o terrorismo e a impostura ideológica - verdadeiros demônios que assolaram o século XX - continuam vivos sob novos disfarces, este é um livro de impressionante atualidade.

First Sentence
"BEFORE DESCRIBING THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS WHICH took place so recently in our town, hitherto not remarkable for anything in particular, I find it necessary, since I am not a skilled writer, to go back a little and begin with certain biographical details concerning our talented and greatly esteemed Stepan Trofimovich Verkhovensky."
Work Description
Also known as Demons or The Devils, this is Dostoyevsky’s most political novel. Though critical of the left-wing revolutionaries, split as they often were into disparate factions and cells the author also tacitly rebukes the conservative elite for failing to come to terms with the high levels of disaffection in the country, a stance that would ultimately lead to their downfall.
