Worth reading for totally different reasons than "Crime and Punishment". An interesting, if at times frustrating, work.

Livro dos mais relevantes, bem-escritos, significativos e importantes da modernidade. Documento poderoso sobre a mentalidade moderna, esmagador em sua crueza ao traduzi-la. Dostoievski interpreta com sutileza o pensamento progressista de sua época, desmontando-o com maestria, denunciando o monumental erro do revolucionário em geral e do niilista em particular.

Dark and grim story of the insidious effects of misplaced teaching. Examines an Eastern (Russian) perspective in opposition to a European one.

Devils is hailed by some critics as Dostoevsky's masterpiece, and I firmly assent their opinion for it is in Devils - Dostoevsky presents astonishing characters, who are practicing Nihilism/Communism, with the intent to bring about the end of the reign of the Tsar of Russia. There's philosophical profundity in the characters of Kirillov and Stavrogin.

A very well written literary piece set in Russia in the late 1860's. Personally, the Russian aristocracy is something I'm getting a bit tired of reading about. Also, some of his conclusions about revolutionaries do prove to be correct, but at the same time he Dostoevsky was defending a hard to justify status quo.

Dark, brooding, tragic. Dostoevsky at his best.

Lots of great intertwined plots in this book. The plurality of characters makes it difficult to follow at times, especially when Dostoevsky describes the exploits of all of the members of "the five." Still, this is the kind of book that Turgenev meant to write with "Fathers and Sons."

Note--no caption for Dostoevsky "The Possessed" or "The Demons" (same manuscript, different titles).

I absolutely love this book! I'm by no means morbid, but cannot resist a good tragedy filled with action. Once I tried to count the number of characters that die in this book and lost it around 50! A twisted, mirror image version of the Karamzov Brothers that stands to this day as its very antithesis.
