Devils - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Información del producto

In 1869 a Young Russian Was Strangled, Shot Through The Head And Thrown Into a Pond. His Crime a Wish to Leave a Small Group of Revolutionaries, From Which he Had Become Alienated. Dostoevsky Takes This Real LIfe Catastrophe as The Subject And Culmination of This Book, a Title That Refers to The Young Radicals Themselves And Also to The Materialistic Ideas That Possessed The Minds of Many Thinking People in Russian Society at The Time. The Satirical Portraits of The Revolutionaries, With Their Naivety, Ludicrous Single Mindedness And Readiness For Murder And Destruction, Might Seem Exaggerated Until we Consider Their All Too Recognizable Descendants in The Real World Ever Since. The Key Figure in The Novel, However, is Beyond Politics. Nicolay Stavrogin, Another Product of Rationalism Run Wild, Exercises His Charisma With Ruthless Authority And Total Amorality. His Unhappiness is Accounted For When he Confesses to a Ghastly Sexual Crime in a Chapter Long Suppressed by The Censor. El Contenido de Este Libro se Encuentra en Inglés. ISBN: 9781840220995
