Description: The Possessed or, The Devils by Fyodor Dostoevsky Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Possessed is an allegory of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the political and moral nihilism that were becoming prevalent in Russia in the 1860s. A fictional town descends into chaos as it becomes the focal point of an attempted revolution, orchestrated by master conspirator Pyotr Verkhovensky. The mysterious aristocratic figure of Nikolai Stavrogin-Verkhovenskys counterpart in the moral sphere-dominates the book, exercising an extraordinary influence over the hearts and minds of almost all the other characters. The idealistic, western-influenced generation of the 1840s, epitomized in the character of Stepan Verkhovensky (who is both Pyotr Verkhovenskys father and Nikolai Stavrogins childhood teacher), are presented as the unconscious progenitors and helpless accomplices of the demonic forces that take possession of the town. Author Biography Richard Peace is Emeritus Professor of Russian at Bristol University. He is the author of Dostoevsky: An Examination of his Major Novels.
