Devils, also known in English as The Possessed and The Demons, was first published in 1871-2. The third of Dostoevsky's five major novels, it is at once a powerful political tract and a profound study of atheism, depicting the disarray which follows the appearance of a band of modish radicals in a small provincial town. This new translation also includes the controversial chapter 'Stavrogin's Confession', appearing in this edition where the author originally intended.
