“If you want to overcome the whole world, overcome yourself.” Dostoevsky’s Demons (_The Devils_ or The Possessed) is a gripping political and psychological novel that explores the dark depths of ideology, revolution, and human nature. Inspired by real events in 19th-century Russia, this prophetic masterpiece examines how radical ideas take root and spiral into chaos, leading to violence and destruction. Set in a provincial Russian town, the novel follows a group of revolutionaries, intellectuals, and aristocrats whose lives become entangled in a web of conspiracy, nihilism, and moral decay. At the centre are Nikolai Stavrogin, a charismatic but tormented figure, and Pyotr Verkhovensky, a ruthless revolutionary mastermind determined to incite upheaval. As ideological extremism clashes with personal ambition, the town descends into madness, murder, and betrayal, mirroring the political turbulence gripping Russia. Demons remains a powerful critique of fanaticism, moral corruption, and the seductive pull of radical movements, blending suspense, satire, and deep philosophical inquiry.
