Stavrogin’s Confession contains the chapter suppressed from The Possessed (Demons) at the insistence of Dostoyevsky’s editor, along with notes toward a projected novel titled The Life of a Great Sinner — a vast work he never completed but which furnished material for several of his later novels. Together they offer an extraordinary window into his creative imagination and his darkest preoccupations.
Essential reading for serious Dostoyevsky readers and scholars, this rarely encountered text is now freely available as an EPUB download complete with introductory and explanatory notes.
