The devils (the possessed)

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, David Magarshack

This psychological novel examines the destructive impact of nihilism through a group of revolutionaries plotting against the Russian state and church. It centres on the morally bankrupt Stavrogin, whose lack of conviction and involvement in crime incite chaos and tragedy.
