Exiled to four years in Siberia but hailed by the end of his life as a saint prophet and genius Fyodor Dostoevsky holds an exalted place among the best of the great Russian authors. One of Dostoevsky?s five major novels Devils follows the travails of a small provincial town beset by a band of modish radicals - and in so doing presents a devastating depiction of life and politics in late 19th-century Imperial Russia. Both a grotesque comedy and a shocking illustration of clashing ideologies Dostoevsky?s famed novel stands as an undeniable masterpiece.
