VINTAGE CLASSICS : DEMONS – FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY-LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY-RICHARD PEVEAR

The most innovative and challenging writer of fiction in his generation in Russia Guardian Based on a real-life crime which horrified Russia in 1869, Dostoevsky intended his novel to castigate the fanaticism of his country s new political reformers, particularly those known as Nihilists. Blackly funny, grotesque and shocking, Demons is a disturbing portrait of five young men saturated in ideology and bent on destruction, and a compelling study of terrorism. Marvellous…a fluid and well-paced translation Observer
