Da un fatto di cronaca avvenuto in Russia alla fine del 1869, l’uccisione dello studente Ivanov, nacque l’idea di questo romanzo, che Dostoevskij concepì in un momento particolarmente cupo della sua esistenza. Egli individuava nella nuova società colta, abbagliata dal liberalismo e dalle nascenti teorie positivistiche, la rovina della Russia, caduta in un deprecabile stato di miseria morale. La sua rabbia è diretta verso quei giovani rivoluzionari – i “demoni” del titolo – che intorno al 1870 cercavano di scalzare dal potere i liberali della vecchia generazione, incapaci di rispondere fattivamente alle provocazioni e all’ostilità politica dei cinici e presuntuosi nichilisti. A sconvolgere maggiormente Dostoevskij è l’assenza della fede e degli affetti nei riguardi degli esseri umani, che rende ai suoi occhi del tutto gratuita e immotivata ogni loro pretesa ideologica. Al di là dell’effettivo svolgimento dei fatti, ciò che interessa realmente all’autore è esprimere il suo disagio e le sue convinzioni politiche, attraverso un’articolata costruzione narrativa che sfocia nella definitiva sconfitta dei “demoni” e nella riaffermazione della fede evangelica.

First Sentence

"BEFORE DESCRIBING THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS WHICH took place so recently in our town, hitherto not remarkable for anything in particular, I find it necessary, since I am not a skilled writer, to go back a little and begin with certain biographical details concerning our talented and greatly esteemed Stepan Trofimovich Verkhovensky."

Work Description

Also known as Demons or The Devils, this is Dostoyevsky’s most political novel. Though critical of the left-wing revolutionaries, split as they often were into disparate factions and cells the author also tacitly rebukes the conservative elite for failing to come to terms with the high levels of disaffection in the country, a stance that would ultimately lead to their downfall.
