Fyodor Dostoevsky

The Possessed (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Possessed is an anti-nihilistic novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. An extremely political book, Demons 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. Dostoyevsky casts a critical eye on both the radical idealists, portraying their ideas and ideological foundation as demonic, and the conservative establishment's ineptitude in dealing with those ideas and their social consequences. Dostoyevsky's novels focus on the idea that utopias and positivist ideas, in being utilitarian, were unrealistic and unobtainable.

Autorenporträt

Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a Russian writer known for his exploration of the tense political and social atmosphere in nineteenth-century Russia. With a deep interest in religion and the human condition, his writing is largely philosophical, and he's recognised as one of the first authors of existentialist fiction. He's one of the most influential writers in literary history, his works including 'Crime and Punishment' (1866), 'The Idiot' (1869), and 'Notes from the Underground' (1864).
