Have you read Dostoevsky's The Possessed / The Devils / The Demons ?
I just finished reading this book this morning. I think it’s the best book I’ve ever read. This took my by surprise, because how often is the most recent book you’ve read the best?
Have you read this book? Do you have any interesting conclusions about the characters, the plot, any specific parts, etc.? What is your opinion?
I especially liked the appendix “Stavrogin’s Confession”, which Dostoevsky originally intended for it to be a chapter near the middle of the story. Unfortunately, it was too “shocking” for the times, because I think it gave unmatchable insight into Nikolay Vsevolodovitch’s mentality and psychological situation.
