About Possessed

In its original English translation, Dostoyevskys novel was titled The Possessed, but scholars and later translations have embraced the titles The Devils or Demons. This politically charged work serves as a powerful testament to life in late 19th century Imperial Russia, a time when revolutionary democrats began to rise and clash with established ideologies. Dostoyevsky critically examines both the radical idealists, depicting their visions as demonic, and the conservative establishments failures to address the social upheaval. The intellectual conservatism linked to the Slavophile movement of Dostoyevskys era, known as Pochvennichestvo, has echoes in modern figures like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Through the exploration of five primary characters representing differing ideologies, Dostoyevsky illustrates the political chaos of his time, ultimately arguing that utopian and positivist ideals are not only unrealistic but unattainable. - Summary by Wikipedia

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
