Book Review

Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky is a profound and multi-layered novel that explores the political and social upheavals in 19th-century Russia. Critics note that Dostoevsky masterfully portrays the psychological profiles of his characters, each embodying different ideological currents of the time. The central theme of the novel is the destructive influence of radical ideas on society and the individual. Critics also emphasize that Demons is not only a political satire but also a philosophical reflection on the nature of evil and human freedom. The novel provokes deep contemplation on the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters and remains relevant even today.
