Demons by Fyodor Dostoyevesky (Penguin Classics)

Pyotr and Stavrogin lead a Russian revolutionary faction with a bold mission: to topple the Tsar, dismantle societal structures, and claim authority for themselves. Together, they mentor dedicated terrorists ready to make the ultimate sacrifice for their cause. However, when their organization faces the threat of exposure, will their followers go as far as murdering one of their own to safeguard their secrets? Drawing inspiration from a historical political assassination, Demons is a compelling and darkly prophetic critique of individuals who resort to violence in pursuit of their ideologies. Its narrative is both intense and humorous, making it a captivating exploration of power, loyalty, and the consequences of extremism.
