| Notes: Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 1995 Trade Paperback. xxvii, 733 pp. Translated and annotated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, with a foreword by Pevear. Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horrified Russians in 1869, Fyodor Dostoevsky conceived of Demons as a "novel-pamphlet" in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land. What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia. | |||||||||||||||
