Dostoevsky chronicles the destructive arrival of the charismatic nihilist Pyotr Verkhovensky and his manipulation of a revolutionary cell, weaving a devastating portrait of ideological fanaticism, moral collapse, and spiritual crisis. With razor-sharp irony and searing character study, the novel presents a prophetic warning against the seductive dangers of unchecked political ideology and atheistic nihilism. Translated by the celebrated Constance Garnett and illustrated by Philippe Jullian, this Heron Books edition brings Dostoevsky's urgent vision to life with both scholarly fidelity and artistic richness. One of the great novels of the nineteenth century, it remains as relevant and electrifying today as when it was first published in 1872.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956335456475,"sku":"2026200008407-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/858e7fad-54b8-458d-9983-7a8dea24207d.png?v=1783499796","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008407-secondhand-the-possessed-ii","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
