Demons:A Novel in Three Parts
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky, Fyodor Dostoevsky
"From the award-winning translators of Crime and Punishment, Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Dostoevsky first conceived of this book as a novel-pamphlet in which he intended to say everything about Russia s new liberal reformers, whom he loathed particularly the group of anti-Czarist political terrorists known as Nihilists.During the winter of 1869 this group, in the course of plotting destruction, murdered one of their own; this event and the ensuing trial became the nucleus of Dostoevsky s unfolding masterwork.
