What he emerged with in 1872 was at once his darkest novel until \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e and his most ferociously funny. For alongside its relentlessly escalating plot of conspiracy and assassination, \u003ci\u003eDemons\u003c\/i\u003e (which earlier translators erroneously titled \u003ci\u003eThe Possessed\u003c\/i\u003e) is a blistering comedy of ideas run amok. And, like all of Dostoevsky's novels, it is also a riot of literary voices, whose profusion, energy, and variety are rendered wonderfully in this English version.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Translators \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richard Pevear has published translations of Alain, Yves Bonnefoy, Albert Savinio, and Pavel Florensky, as well as two books of poetry.
