Also known as Demons, The Possessed is a powerful socio-political book about groundbreaking ideas and the radicals in it. It employs the job of Pyotr Stepanovich Verkhovensky, a politics terrorist who leads a group of nihilists over a demonic search for societal breakdown. They are simply consumed by their wishes and ideals, and also have surrendered themselves totally to the darkness of the "demons". This ownership leads them to engulf a noiseless provincial town and subject matter it to a surprise of violence. Influenced by a real political killing in 1869, the book is an impassioned reaction to the ideologies of European liberalism and nihilism, which threatened Russian Orthodoxy; it eerily forecasted the Russian Trend, which would happen 50 years later. Crazy, stunning, and tragic, this is a serious and affecting use deep philosophical discourses about God, individuals freedom and politics revolution. Translation by Constance Garnett; appendix translated by S. S. Koteliansky and Virginia Woolf.
