Takeaways
Description
Dostoevsky’s novel Demons is a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia. Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horrified Russians in 1869, 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.
