Historia
Loosely based on sensational press reports of a Moscow student’s murder by fellow revolutionists, The Possessed depicts the destructive chaos caused by outside agitators who move into a provincial town. The enigmatic Stavrogin dominates the novel. His magnetic personality influences his tutor, the liberal intellectual poseur Stepan Verhovensky, and the teacher’s revolutionary son Pyotr, as well as other radicals.

Now I Understand
Revisado: 05-22-10
After listening to several hours of Possessed, I decided to get the book and follow along. Unfortunately, Audible doesn't say who translated D's novel, and after two tries (2 buys), I stopped purchasing the book.
Then I read these reviews. Now I understand why I was having difficulty understanding the plot and socio-political themes this novel is noted for. I guess, like trying to find the appropriate translation, I will stop trying to understand this audiobook. I am disappointed because I am a fan of D, and I was hoping to further my relationship with his great works. You see, I once thought that D was the nihilist/rebel, not the one who was trying to prove them wrong. I'm hoping that by studying him more I might discover new truths about his theological/political views.
Especially for long books, and little time to read them, I appreciate having audio to facilitate my reading. So, Audible, let's try this one again, and let's provide all pertinent information.
