What he emerged with in 1872 was at once his darkest novel until \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e and his most ferociously funny. For alongside its relentlessly escalating plot of conspiracy and assassination, \u003ci\u003eDemons\u003c\/i\u003e (which earlier translators erroneously titled \u003ci\u003eThe Possessed\u003c\/i\u003e) is a blistering comedy of ideas run amok. And, like all of Dostoevsky's novels, it is also a riot of literary voices, whose profusion, energy, and variety are rendered wonderfully in this English version.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fyodor Dostoyevsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/1\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.64 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.01\" H x 5.25\" L x 1.58\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780679734512\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49534998446384,"sku":"9780679734512","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780679734512_8a624eb2-905f-4bdd-adae-4e8dbdd20fc5.jpg?v=1774932250","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/demons-fyodor-dostoyevsky-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
