Translated by Constance Garnett with an Introduction by A.D.P.
Briggs. In 1869 a young Russian was strangled, shot through the
head and thrown into a pond. His crime? A wish to leave a small
group of violent revolutionaries, from which he had become
alienated. Dostoevsky takes this real-life catastrophe as the
subject and culmination of Devils, a title that refers the young
radicals themselves and also to the materialistic ideas that
possessed the minds of many thinking people Russian society at the
time. The satirical portraits of the revolutionaries, with their
naivety, ludicrous single-mindedness and readiness for murder and
destruction, might seem exaggerated - until we consider their
all-too-recognisable descendants in the real world ever since. The
key figure in the novel, however, is beyond politics. Nikolay
Stavrogin, another product of rationalism run wild, exercises his
charisma with ruthless authority and total amorality. His
unhappiness is accounted for when he confesses to a ghastly sexual
crime - in a chapter long suppressed by the censor. This prophetic
account of modern morals and politics, with its fifty-odd
characters, amazing events and challenging ideas, is seen by some
critics as Dostoevsky's masterpiece.
