I need to show you guys the 1968 Heron Books edition of Demons (The Possessed) by Dostoevsky! It is divided into two volumes and contains these cool gesture drawing ink illustrations by Philippe Jullian! It was only $30ish for both of them on Etsy and it was such a steal!!!!!!!!

We start off with this cool sketch of Dostoevsky in the front. Then we get my favorite: Stepan and Varvara yapping

Then we have all these bangers. There are a surprising amount of illustrations! Seeing as I didn't know there were any at all, I was very pleasantly surprised to find all of these:

1: Stavrogin pulling Gaganov by the nose 2: Varavara talking to Dasha about the marriage 3: Lizaveta and Mavriky 4: The Lebyadkins 5: Pyotr 6: Shatov and Stavrogin 7: Fedka 8: The von Lembkes 9: The Duel 10: Lyamshin playing his Franco-Prussian war composition 11: Karmazinov 12: The Meeting at Virginsky's 13 & 14: The Fête 15: Lizaveta after the fête 16: The Death of Shatov 17: The Death of Kirillov 18: Stepan's Last Peregrination

Overall a very cool edition of Demons! I genuinely cannot believe I scored it for so cheap... It's a real prize in my Dostoevsky collection now
