Sinopsis

When ideology becomes obsession, chaos follows.
In The Possessed—also known as Demons or The Devils—Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers one of his most politically charged and psychologically intense novels. Set in a provincial Russian town, the story follows a group of radical intellectuals and revolutionaries whose conspiracy spirals into violence, moral collapse, and tragedy.

At the center are Nikolai Stavrogin, a magnetic yet morally ambiguous figure, and Pyotr Verkhovensky, a manipulative agitator driven by destructive ideals. Through them, Dostoevsky examines the dangers of nihilism, the seduction of ideology, and the devastating consequences when individuals abandon moral responsibility in pursuit of utopian dreams.

First published in 1872, The Possessed remains a hauntingly relevant exploration of fanaticism, moral decay, and the clash between spiritual values and political extremism.

"A prophetic novel about the perils of radicalism and the fragility of the human soul."
– The Guardian

"Dostoevsky's most politically explosive work—and one of his most gripping."
– The New York Times
