Demons
by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky and Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Alternate Cover Edition ISBN 0679734511 (ISBN13: 9780679734512) Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horrified Russians in 1869, Fyodor Dostoevsky conceived of Demons as a "novel-pamphlet" in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land. What emerged was a prophetic and ferociously funny masterpiece of ideology and murder in pre-revolutionary Russia. ~penguinrandomhouse.com
