Dostoevsky's Demons

I cant stop thinking about how Shatov was finally happy just before he died.

Excellent analysis! Demons is one of my favorite books and it was a wild ride reading. I think what stuck with me the most is that we're seeing the events of Demons play out today. There are so many people like Pyotr Stepanovitch in the world who are filled with crazy ideas and seek violence to fulfill their goals. We see people like Shatov who choose to leave behind old beliefs. This book was written almost 200 years ago yet it is eerily similar to what we see today.

I love your references to popular media. It’s actually super appropriate, as Dostoevsky’s ideas relate perfectly to our current era.

I like that the videos are getting past the 30 minute mark. Gives me something to listen to for a longer period of time and makes me think that what I’m listening to is really in depth and was produced through a lot of hard work and time. Thank uou

I finished reading "The demons" today. Your video has come just in time. Thank you. It was a great and thoughtful episode.

So i actually bought my first book outside of school. I was one of the people that said 'thank god i dont have to read another book' after finishing grade 12, but after watching your videos on some of dostoevsky's work you sold me. Thanks for that

Thank you so much! As a fan who had requested this video in the past, I'm so glad you actively listen to your community :)

Just finished this today. Happily surprised to see such a recent video summarizing and analyzing this undervalued novel. Thank you for the solid work. I didn’t realize how recent it was until I heard that Shatov Will Smith’d Nik. 😂

I like how you have intertwined current events/issues with these novels. Goes to show ‘there is nothing new under the sun’. Thank you

Oh man, now I want to read this book! I've read a few of Dostoevsky's books before; Crime and Punishment, Notes from the Underground, The Gambler, House of the Dead and White Nights. I have The Brothers Karamazov on my bookshelf, I'm not quite ready to take on that monster though. Lol. Great summation! You have a way of putting Dostoevsky's work into perspective and making them fit into modern times...

Would you ever consider a video on Dostoevsky's least discussed novel, The Adolescent?

السلام علیکم The video was splendidly represented. Chuckled a few times due to your stupendous commentary too XD I'm a sophomore rn and love literature exorbitantly. But due to the syllabus restrictions I can't freely explore more and more, hafta stick on the curriculum ones first. Videos like these are my only source of knowledge regarding literature from different parts of the globe. And I'm utterly obliged to you for providing the Urdu subtitles also! Rarely I get to see 'em at such channels جزاک اللہ خیرا! - из Индии <3

I think this is the best Dostoevsky book. But, i haven't read BK yet. Saving that one for last :)

This summary was absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Man you just saved my life, I had to write a six page essay on this and I didn’t have a clear understanding of this book at all but you depicted it in such a literate and thought out way. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Was praying for this video. So glad it’s here!

Your summary has inspired me to read it a second time....well done, as usual...

I like the presentation

Thank you for your summary, analysis, and humor. Very good
