À propos de cette écoute
Also known as Demons, The Possessed is a powerful socio-political novel about revolutionary ideas and the radicals behind them. It follows the career of Pyotr Stepanovich Verkhovensky, a political terrorist who leads a group of nihilists on a demonic quest for societal breakdown. They are consumed by their desires and ideals, and have surrendered themselves fully to the darkness of their "demons". This possession leads them to engulf a quiet provincial town and subject it to a storm of violence. Inspired by a real political killing in 1869, the book is an impassioned response to the ideologies of European liberalism and nihilism, which threatened Russian Orthodoxy; it eerily predicted the Russian Revolution, which would take place 50 years later. Funny, shocking, and tragic, it is a profound and affecting work with deep philosophical discourses about God, human freedom and political revolution.
Translation by Constance Garnett; appendix translated by S. S. Koteliansky and Virginia Woolf.

Masterpiece!!!
Another jewel of the 19th century Russian literature!
Dostoevsky is brilliantly presents various idéologies and thoughts through the characters of this book...and what a great work he did with the characters (which is no surprise, being a work of Dostoevsky's)
Apart from that, the wonderful narration of Constantine Gregory is an almost indispensable companion to the book, thanks to his impeccable narration and the detail he puts into each character!
