Written in 1872, this translation of the powerfully impacting novel by the author of The Brothers Karamazov offers a poignant and almost prophetic study of a nation in turmoil and of Pyotr and Stavrogin, two anti-czarist reformers who threaten the very core of the Russian nation. Together they train groups of terrorists who are willing to lay down their lives to accomplish their goals. But when the group is threatened with exposure, will their recruits be willing to kill one of their own to cover their tracks? Savage and powerful yet lively and at times comic, Demons was inspired by true events and is a scathing indictment of those who use violence to serve their beliefs.
