Anotace knihy

In a quiet provincial Russian town, a circle of radical intellectuals gathers, intoxicated by dangerous ideas and the promise of revolution. Led by the enigmatic Nikolai Stavrogin-a man whose magnetic charm conceals a soul in ruins-and the fanatical ideologue Pyotr Verkhovensky, they plot to overturn the old order and remake society according to their will.

But as their conspiracy spirals into chaos, murder, and madness, Dostoevsky exposes the terrifying consequences of nihilism unbound. Through a cast of unforgettable characters-the desperate Kirillov, the paralyzed intellectual Stepan, the possessed Shatov-he dramatizes the collision between radical politics and human nature itself.

Part political thriller, part psychological nightmare, part prophetic warning, Demons is Dostoevsky's most controversial and incendiary masterpiece. Written in response to a real political murder, it predicted with uncanny accuracy the totalitarian horrors of the twentieth century, while plumbing the depths of faith, freedom, and the darkness that lurks in the human heart.

A novel of ideas that burns with the intensity of lived experience, Demons asks the question that still haunts us: What happens when people who claim to love humanity become willing to sacrifice actual human beings for their grand visions?
