In The Possessed, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers a prophetic vision of ideology run amok. When the charismatic nihilist Pyotr Verkhovensky returns home, he gathers a secret circle determined to overthrow every social and spiritual foundation.
Their chosen pawn is Nikolai Stavrogin-brilliant, enigmatic, and haunted by a hidden shame. As conspiracies tighten, old wounds reopen and the boundary between rebellion and madness dissolves.
This edition offers a clear, faithful translation that retains the psychological depth and dark humor of the original, inviting today's readers into Dostoevsky's gripping examination of power, belief, and responsibility.
What you'll discover in this modern translation:
Enter a world where ideas become demons-and demons possess the hearts of men. Read The Possessed and confront the forces still reshaping our world.
