„Dostoievski ne este indispensabil: satira lui, asemenea celei a lui Jonathan Swift, denunta egoismul, cruzimea, ipocriziile noastre si, mai presus de orice, aceasta infirmitate pe care o numim constiinta de sine. Acest Shakespeare al romancierilor isi inzestreaza personajele cu o intensitate a trairii pe care doar operele Marelui Will au atins-o si, in plus, le face sa poarte povara rusinii, un lucru pe care Shakespeare nu a fost capabil sa-l realizeze.” (Harold Bloom)

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.
