Fyodor Dostoevsky Richard Pevear Larissa Volokhonsky Vintage Classics: Demons (Paperback)
Users say:
Devils by Dostoevsky is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores the depths of nihilism and the power of the imagination. It is a dark and penetrating sense of humor, with some of his best characterizations, and is an essential reading for our times. The translation by Oxford is excellent, and the introduction, translation, notes, layout is perfect. It is a great book that is both hilarious and thought-provoking, and is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian literature.

Description
Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horried Russians in 1869 Fyodor 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. What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia.
