The Possessed

Can revolutionaries escape the chaos they ignite?

The Possessed (also published as Demons) is Dostoevsky's darkest and most politically charged novel—an unflinching portrayal of nihilism, ideology, and the moral collapse of a generation. Set in a provincial Russian town, the story follows a group of radicals whose utopian dreams spiral into violence, betrayal, and madness ⚖.

With unforgettable characters and intense psychological drama, Dostoevsky explores the destructive power of belief systems that abandon moral responsibility. Both a prophetic political satire and a tragic human tale, The Possessed remains chillingly relevant today.

Why readers call this Dostoevsky's boldest novel:

✔ «A brilliant critique of fanaticism, extremism, and spiritual emptiness.»

✔ «Uncomfortable, necessary, and eerily modern.»

✔ Perfect for fans of Orwell, Kafka, Camus, and political thrillers
