About this audiobook

What if the devils of ideology whispered in every ear—and no one could silence them?

The Possessed thrusts listeners into a Russian town on the brink of anarchy. A clandestine revolutionary cell, led by the cunning Pyotr Verkhovensky and anchored by the enigmatic Nikolai Stavrogin, sets out to ignite chaos.

Personal vendettas collide with grand political schemes, culminating in arson, murder, and moral freefall.

What you’ll hear inside:

-A Tense Conspiracy Unfolding – Radical plots, secret meetings, and shocking betrayals.

-The Tormented Genius of Stavrogin – A soul wrestling with guilt, desire, and the abyss.

-Philosophical Duels – Dazzling debates on God, freedom, and the meaning of evil.

-A Modern, Faithful Adaptation – Crystal-clear narration that brings Dostoevsky’s intensity to life for today’s listener.

At once thriller, satire, and spiritual drama, The Possessed is Dostoevsky’s explosive meditation on the cost of ideas.

Dare to listen, and feel the tremors of a society tearing itself apart.
