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.

Sister Carrie is an epic of urban life, the story of an innocent heroine adrift in an indifferent city. When small-town girl Carrie Meeber sets out for Chicago, she is equipped with nothing but a few dollars, a certain unspoiled beauty and charm, and a pitiful lack of preparation for the complex moral choices she will face. Her story is one of struggle, from sweatshop to stage success, and of the love she inspires in a married man twice her age, whose obsession with her threatens to destroy him.

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.

Poor reader ruins a good story.
The worst reader I have encountered after listening to over two thousand audiobooks. The pauses in the middle of a word, and the myriad mispronunciations of words and common names made it very difficult to persevere to the end.

Unfortunate reader
John Putnam Thatcher was a favorite series detective character of mine, but unfortunately the reader makes this audio version pretty much unbearable. I suggest listening to a minute of the audio before purchasing to gauge your tolerance for a monotone rendition with gasps and snorts and odd stops and starts.
