George Guidall
About this listen
Exiled to four years in Siberia, but hailed by the end of his life as a saint, prophet, and genius, Fyodor Dostoevsky holds an exalted place among the best of the great Russian authors. One of Dostoevsky’s five major novels, Devils follows the travails of a small provincial town beset by a band of modish radicals - and in so doing presents a devastating depiction of life and politics in late 19th-century Imperial Russia. Both a grotesque comedy and a shocking illustration of clashing ideologies, Dostoevsky’s famed novel stands as an undeniable masterpiece.

Disquieting character descriptions
What did you like most about Devils?
It seems that the evils of human nature do not extend from their animal spirit, but their petty vindictiveness. The series was disquieting as it showed the outworking of lies, self-deception and petty fighting leading to greater life tragedy.
What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?
Guidall's performance was great, but at times the reading felt a little slow. I generally speed it up to 1.25 to get through the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
"We will tie the 4 together with the blood of the 5th" -- I instantly thought of Saddam Hussein's 1979 coup and the use of a similar strategy.
Any additional comments?
I'm certainly tempted to read some of Dostoevsky's other works now.
