Aesthetics and Demons

Dostoevsky states elsewhere that "beauty will save the world." In this context, I am again reminded of something that Yuri Zhivago in Pasternak’s novel Doctor Zhivago says about Crime and Punishment: “A literary creation can appeal to us in all sorts of ways—by its theme, subject, situations, characters. But above all it appeals to us by the presence in it of art. It is the presence of art in Crime and Punishment that moves us deeply rather than the story of Raskolnikov’s crime.”  Can we say the same thing about  Demons? Where is the art of this novel?
