Sinopse

Ideals ignite. Chaos follows. And no soul escapes untouched.

The Possessed is Fyodor Dostoevsky's most incendiary novel—an intense, prophetic narrative of political extremism, nihilism, and the terrifying consequences of radical ideology. Based on real events and set in a provincial Russian town, the story follows a circle of revolutionaries who descend into madness, betrayal, and violence under the sway of fanaticism.

With piercing psychological insight and moral urgency, Dostoevsky explores the breakdown of faith, the rise of ideology, and the perilous hunger for power. As disturbing as it is profound, The Possessed is a masterwork of philosophical fiction and political prophecy.

📘 This Edition Features:
✔ Complete and unabridged text
✔ Kindle-optimized formatting with interactive table of contents
✔ Ideal for readers of political fiction, Russian literature, and psychological drama

💬 What Readers Say:
"Dark, brilliant, and frighteningly relevant."
"Dostoevsky at his most political—and prophetic."
"One of the most disturbing novels ever written about human belief and destruction."

    Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London.  
 
By his early 20’s Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content.  
 
In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883.  It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle.  In April 1884 he was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. 
  
In order to be well away from the scandal and the damage that this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail.  Shortly thereafter the name ‘Richard Marsh’ began to appear in the literary periodicals.  The use of his mother’s maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. 
 
A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel ‘The Beetle’ published in 1897.  This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation.   
 
Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.   His unusual characters, plotting devices and other literary developments have identified his legacy as one of the best British writers of his time.   
 
Richard Marsh died from heart disease in Haywards Heath in Sussex on 9th August 1915.  He was 57.
