Dostoevsky’s “Demons” is a haunting exploration of political radicalism and moral decay in 19th-century Russia. Through a cast of complex characters, the novel delves into the dangerous allure of revolutionary ideas and their catastrophic consequences. I was struck by the author’s prophetic insights into the human psyche and the timeless relevance of his themes. The dense prose and intricate plot demand careful reading, but the reward is a profound meditation on faith, reason, and the nature of evil.
The man who has a conscience suffers whilst acknowledging his sin. That is his punishment—as well as prison.
