The Possessed also translated as The Devils or Demons, is an 1872 novel by Dostoevsky. For an explanation of the marked difference in the English-language title, please see the section Note on the title below. An extremely political book, The Possessed is a testimonial of life in Imperial Russia in the late 19th century. As the revolutionary democrats begin to rise in Russia, different ideologies begin to collide. Dostoevsky casts a critical eye on both the left-wing idealists, exposing their ideas and ideological foundation as demonic, and the conservative establishment's ineptitude in dealing with those ideas and their social consequences.
