'Demons' is one of the most tragic and terrifyingly prophetic works by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.

In a provincial town at the end of summer, the mysterious and attractive Nikolai Stavrogin suddenly appears with his fussy comrade Pyotr Verkhovensky, and then his imaginary wife, Khromonozhka. Hearts are broken, plans are upset, all around there is vanity and turmoil. And while high society is squabbling among itself, somewhere beyond their small world, a secret society of nihilists is plotting its own bloody and soulless plan.

Having conceived a work to address the topical issues of the day, Dostoevsky created it 'to address the anger of the ages.' It is simultaneously a psychological thriller and a social drama about a world in which people have lost harmony and meaning, having felt the fatal influence of new ideas.
