Political and religious upheaval in a provincial town

Set in a small provincial town unsettled by the arrival of a group of fashionable radicals, Dostoevsky’s novel brings political conflict and questions of atheism into the same frame. The town’s disarray gives the book’s ideas a social setting, linking debates about belief and radicalism with their effects on a community. This edition is a new translation and includes the chapter “Stavrogin’s confession,” which the publisher’s description notes was initially censored.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic Russian fiction and Dostoevsky’s major novels
  • Readers exploring fiction about political radicalism, atheism, and social disruption

Book overview

The third of Dostoevsky's five major novels, Devils (1871-2), also known as The Possessed, is at once a powerful political tract and a profound study of atheism, depicting the disarray that follows the appearance of a band of modish radicals in a small provincial town. This new translation includes the chapter "Stavrogin's confession," initially censored by Dostoevsky's publisher.
