description: The third of Dostoevsky's five major novels, Devils (1871-2), also known as The Possessed , is at once a powerful political tract and a profound study of atheism, depicting the disarray that follows the appearance of a band of modish radicals in a small provincial town. This new translationincludes the chapter "Stavrogin's confession," initially censored by Dostoevsky's publisher.
