<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A superb new translation of Dostoyevsky's chilling and prophetic novel of revolutionary fanaticism</b> <p/>Pyotr and Stavrogin are the leaders of a Russian revolutionary cell. Their aim is to overthrow the Tsar, destroy society, and seize power for themselves. Together they train terrorists who are willing to lay down their lives to accomplish their goals. But when the group is threatened with exposure, will their recruits be willing to kill one of their own to cover their tracks? Savage and powerful yet lively and often comic, <i>Demons</i> was inspired by a real-life political murder and is a scathing and eerily prescient indictment of those who use violence to serve their beliefs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>?
