Description: Devils also known in English as The Possessed and The Demons was first published in 1871 - 2. The third of Dostoevsky's five major novels it is at once a powerful political tract and a profound study of atheism depicting the disarray which follows the appearance of a band of modish radicals in a small provincial town. Dostoevsky compares infectious radicalism to the devils that drove the Gadarene swine over the precipice in his vision of a society possessed by demonic creatures that produce devastating delusions of rationality. Dostoevsky is at his most imaginatively humorous in Devils: the novel is full of buffoonery and grotesque comedy. The plot is loosely based on the details of a notorious case of political murder but Dostoevsky weaves suicide rape and a multiplicity of scandals into a compelling story of political evil. _ This new translation also includes the chapter ` Stavrogin's Confession' which was initially considered to be too shocking to print. In this edition it appears where the author originally intended it.
