On Demons

Sam Kriss reviews Demons: A Novel in Three Parts by Fyodor Dostoevsky, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, at First Things.

"...a film, Jean-Luc Godard’s 1967 La Chinoise...

"... is a loose adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1871 novel Besy, variously translated Demons, Devils, or The Possessed."

See Dostoevsky, "White Nights" in Gateway to the Great Books (10 Vol., 1963) volume 3, and The Brothers Karamazov in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 52, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 52.
