Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky is regarded by scholars and critics as one of the most important writers of the nineteenth century. His deeply philosophical novels present a nuanced look at some of the psychological struggles that men and women face. This novel, set against the backdrop of the initial rumblings of revolution in Imperial Russia, delves into the motivations that inspire extreme political ideologies.

kitzyl: "The turbulent late years of the Russian empire produced not one but two novels about terrorist plots that abound in images of carnivalesque horror. Dostoevsky’s Demons (1873) and Andrei Bely’s Petersburg (1913, revised 1922 [!]) both dramatize the activities of radical terrorist groups. Members of terrorist cells engaged in secretly planned and spectacularly performed acts of violence, and both Dostoevsky and Bely employ theatrical imagery to represent the dual nature of terror, as a both private and public phenomenon. This theatricality ranges from Shakespearean allusions to acts of costuming and scripting to images of puppets and clowns." Issue 35 of Hypocrite Reader… (mais)
Hoe krijgt iemand het voor elkaar om anderen de politieke moord te laten begaan die hij gepleegd wil zien?
In 1869 vermoordde de 22-jarige 'revolutionair' Sergej Netsjajev met enkele medestanders een 'verrader' uit eigen rijen. Hijzelf slaagde er als enige in geruime tijd uit handen van de politie te blijven. De moord inspireerde Dostojevski tot zijn meest politieke roman, die niets aan actualiteit heeft ingeboet. Hoeveel politieke moorden worden immers niet gepleegd waarbij de opdrachtgevers, de boze geesten uit de titel, buiten schot blijven?
'De grootste terrorist is hier eigenlijk Dostojevski zelf,' schreef Karel van het Reve. 'Op drastische wijze slacht hij op het eind bijna alle personen in het boek af, want van revolutie, meende hij, kan nooit iets goeds komen.'
In 2016 kwam Boze geesten uitgebreid ter sprake in een aflevering van DWDD University. Beatrice de Graaf gebruikte het boek van Dostojevski om meer uit te leggen over het ontstaan en de motieven van terrorisme. ( )
Like many books by Russian authors, it felt like the first third of it could have been removed and the book would have been just as good. Very long character introductions and stories that seemed to have little to do with the main plot. Still, an interesting examination of the consequences of trying to overthrow social and cultural norms and institutions. ( )
This is one of the few novels by Dostoyevsky that I haven't read, and I think it's not only his most political but also his most prescient in terms of today's world—particularly the individual faced with corrupt systems, the movement toward anarchy and rebellion, and the webs of power that bind all individuals to their oppressive societies no matter how hard they strive to be free of these restrictions.
I think Demons should be read after some of Dostoyevsky's more intricately plotted and deeper psychological work, novels like Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov especially. The latter is the most fresh Dostoyevsky is my mind as I was reading through Demons, and the dialogue that the texts struck up with one another made Demons more profound, deeply affecting, and an immense achievement.
Every sentence was a joy and a small heartbreak. This will have me moving rereads of Dostoyevsky's work higher up on my to-read list, without any doubt. What an amazing book. ( )
Impressionado com o assassinato de um estudante por um grupo niilista, Dostoiévski concebeu este livro como um protesto contra os que queriam transplantar a realidade política e cultural da Europa ocidental para a Rússia. Apesar da intenção inicialmente panfletária, Os demônios é um romance magistral, à altura de Crime e castigo ou Os irmãos Karamázov.
El horrible crimen perpetrado en Moscú a finales de 1869 siguiendo órdenes del nihilista Nechayev, seguidor de Bakunin, fue la fuente de inspiración que sirvió a Fiodor Dostoyevski para construir la trama argumental y perfilar los caracteres de los principales personajes de Los demonios.

The there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lat, and were choked. When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet to Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. -Luke viii. 32-36
Strike me dead, the track has vanished, Well, what now? We've lost the way, Demons have bewitched our horses, Led us in the wilds astray...What a number? Whither drift they? What's the mournful dirge they sing? Do they hail a witch's marriage or a goblin's burying? - A. Pushkin

Before describing the extraordinary events which took place so recently in our town, hitherto not remarkable for anything in particular, I find it necessary, since I am not a skilled writer, to go back a little and begin with certain biographical detains concerning our talented and greatly esteemed Stepan Trofimovich Verkhovensky.
In undertaking to describe the recent and strange incidents in our town, till lately wrapped in uneventful obscurity, I find myself forced in absence of literary skill to begin my story rather far back, that is to say, with certain biographical details concerning that talented and highly-eseemed gentleman, Stepan Tromfimovitch Verhovensky. (Modern Library 1930 edition)
In a letter written from Dresden, dated 8 October 1870, addressed to his publisher, Fyodor Dostoevsky described the difficulty he was having with the new novel he's begun writing: For a very long time I had trouble with the beginning of the work. I rewrote it several times. To tell the truth, something happened with this novel that had never happened to me before: week after week, I would keep putting asigne the beginning and work on the ending instead... What I can guarantee is that, as the novel progresses, it will hold the reader's interest. It seems to me that the way I have it now is for the best. (Introduction)
