About this audiobook
"The Fears" of Fedor Dostoevsky - one of the most prophetic, horrible and politically sharp novels in the world classical. Written as a reaction to the birth of radical revolutionary movements in Russia, it broke the framework of the political pamphlet and became the deepest philosophical and religious study of what happens to society and man when they give up morality and faith. The action develops in a quiet Governorate town, which literally explodes from the inside with the arrival of two young people. The first is Peter Verhovensky, a cynical, compelling manipulator and organizer of a secret revolutionary circle, seeking to dive the end into chaos in order to power. The second is the mysterious aristocrat Nikolai Stavrogin, a man of evil charm and a massive inner force whose destroyed soul and spiritual stupidity become the main source of destruction for all who surround him. Step by step the quiet city is immersed in the fool of intrigues, burns, betrayals and brutal murders. Dostoevsky with a terrible accuracy showed how noble ideas of freedom and justice in the hands of the fanatics are turning into a destructive obsession—the “immortality” that cries human fate. Everyone who appreciates strong psychological thrillers, deep philosophy and wants to understand the nature of social crises, manipulations and dark sides of human nature.
