As ideological ferment grips Russia, a small group of
revolutionaries, led by Pyotr Verkhovensky and inspired by Nikolai
Stavrogin, plan to spread destruction and anarchy throughout the
country. Morally bankrupt, they are prepared to use whatever means
necessary to achieve their goal, including murder and incitement to
suicide. But when they are forced to test the limits of their
doctrine and kill one of their own to secure the secrecy of their
mission, the ragtag group breaks up in mutual recrimination.Devils
is at once a compelling political statement and a study of atheism
and its calamitous effect on a country that is teetering on the
edge of an abyss. Seen as Dostoevsky's most powerful indictment of
man's propensity to violence, this darkly humorous work, shot
through with grotesque comedy, is presented here in Roger
Cockrell's masterful new translation.
