Features: This book primarily explores the literary theories and creative development trajectory of the novelist based on a study of his novel texts, creative notes, literary theories, and literary correspondence. While reviewing important Dostoevsky critiques, it takes the textual analysis of the novels as the main thread, elaborating on the connotations and artistic characteristics of Dostoevsky's proposed concepts such as "idealism," "realism that achieves fantasy," and "complete realism." The book also discusses Dostoevsky's artistic dialogue with renowned European and Russian masters (such as Hugo, Edgar Allan Poe, Pushkin, Gogol) during his artistic exploration of innovation.
