Abstract (en)

Othman introduces the research of K.A Barsht who has found three types of sketches in F.M. Dostoevsky's manuscripts for novels: portraits for Crime and punishment, calligraphy for The idiot, and Gothic bow windows for The devils. Dostoevsky also sketched out great men of history and of his own time. He was educated in architectural design, drawing and calligraphy. His own handwriting was beautiful. Gothic was more an idea of spiritual beauty, the aspiration for harmony, and the human pursuit of greatness than an architectural style to him. According to Barsht, Dostoevsky proceeded in his literary work from image to text. The illustrations anticipated the message of the text. Also, the plot can be followed through the sketches. The author needed the images to compose the text.
