The Possessed, also known as The Devils, is a novel written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The book is set in 19th century Russia and explores the themes of political radicalism, nihilism, and the influence of the church on society. The story revolves around a group of radicals who are planning to overthrow the government and the church. The characters are complex and multifaceted, with each one representing a different aspect of the society they live in. The novel is known for its psychological depth and its portrayal of the human condition. The Possessed is considered one of Dostoyevsky's most important works and has been praised for its insightful commentary on the social and political issues of its time.I have been studying Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch of late, and through special circumstances I know a great many facts about him now, at the time I write. I should compare him, perhaps, with some gentlemen of the past of whom legendary traditions are still perceived among us. We are told, for instance, about the Decabrist L--n, that he was always seeking for danger, that he revelled in the sensation, and that it had become a craving of his nature; that in his youth he had rushed into duels for nothing; that in Siberia he used to go to kill bears with nothing but a knife; that in the Siberian forests he liked to meet with runaway convicts, who are, I may observe in passing, more formidable than bears.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
