Dostoevsky, in order to be relevant to the 20th century, retreated deeply back to the 18th century of Russia. Now it is indisputable that Nikolai Karamzin played a significant role in shaping Dostoevsky's work.

Dostoevsky in his work used the materials of his spiritual experiences and painted his work in the tones of these experiences. Even more - Dostoevsky transferred the very mechanism of visions into his works, giving his dreams and hallucinations the features of real events.

In the works of Dostoevsky, someone acts as a narrator. He seems to capture events, but at the same time does not play a role in them. A pale, almost ghostly figure. He is found everywhere, he sees everything and knows everything, but he himself remains behind the scenes. This strange observer of someone else's life is, in fact, the only person who understands the whole complex tragedy of human suffering.
