Publisher Description
Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horried 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.

Demons
This translation is almost unreadable. I struggled with it almost half way and then picked up the 1916 translation by Constance Garnett and discovered the marvelous book that I had been missing.
