Demons (Dostoevsky Novel)
''Demons'' (, ; sometimes also called ''The Possessed'' or ''The Devils'') is a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in the journal '' The Russian Messenger'' in 1871–72. It is considered one of the four masterworks written by Dostoevsky after his return from Siberian exile, along with '' Crime and Punishment'' (1866), ''The Idiot'' (1869), and '' The Brothers Karamazov'' (1880).

''Demons'' is an allegory of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the political and moral nihilism that were becoming prevalent in Russia in the 1860s. A fictional tow ...
