It is hardly possible to understand F. M. Dostoevsky’s works without analyzing their original language. Therefore, there needs to be a new discussion with the author which includes the analysis of his language. Dostoevsky is regarded as a poor stylist. He prefers emotionally determined speech to rational language. It is based on the magic of the spoken word, not on reason.
