Summary
Dragutin Prohaska: Fyodor Mihajlović Dostoevsky: a study of an all-Slavic man
"Fyodor Mihajlovič Dostoevsky: A study of an all-Slavic man" is the work of Dragutin Prohaska, a Croatian literary critic and essayist, which represents one of the earlier and more thorough interpretations of Dostoevsky's life and works in these areas.
Written in the middle of the 20th century, this study is not only literary analysis, but also a cultural-philosophical essay on Dostoyevsky as a universal and "all-Slavic" writer. Prohaska observes Dostoevsky through the prism of the Slavic soul, religion, moral dilemma, mysticism and the inner decay of modern man, emphasizing his permanent importance for the Slavic peoples and European spirituality in general.
The book is extremely interesting for lovers of classical literature, Slavic studies, philosophy and the history of ideas, but also for everyone who wants to understand more deeply Dostoevsky not only as a writer, but also as a thinker.
