"The most innovative and provocative fiction writer of his generation in Russia" - Guardian. Based on a real crime that shocked Russia in 1869, Dostoevsky aims with his novel to condemn the fanaticism of the country's young political reformers, particularly those known as Nihilists. Blackly humorous, grotesque, and shocking, Demons is a disturbing portrait of five young men saturated with ideology and committed to destruction, as well as a compelling study of terrorism. "Magnificent... a flow and well-tuned translation" - Observer.
