Demons

«Demons» — one of the most tragic and terrifyingly prophetic works of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. In a provincial town at the end of summer, a mysterious and attractive Nikolai Stavrogin suddenly appears with his fussy companion Pyotr Verkhovensky, and then... his imaginary wife Khromonozhka. Hearts are broken, plans are upset, there is hustle and turmoil around. And while the upper society is scandalizing among themselves, somewhere beyond their small world, a secret society of nihilists is plotting their bloody and soulless plan. Having conceived a work for the troubles of the day, Dostoevsky created it «for the troubles of the ages.» It is both a psychological thriller and a social drama of a world in which people have lost harmony and meaning, feeling the fateful influence of new ideas.
