Anotace: November 2021 marked the birth bicentenary

of one of the greatest writers of world
literature, F. M. Dostoevsky. The author
of this presentation poses the question
of appeal of his oeuvre for contemporary
readers. The emphasis is laid on the anthropocentric
nature of his works, on his
struggle to get close to the nature of man
and the meaning of his existence, which
is the driving force of Dostoevsky’s poetics.
That poetics treats on equal terms expressive
dialogs, nonverbal communication,
dreams, reminiscences, hallucinations,
and allusions to works of world literature
as well as visual arts. These in turn are
used as a lens which allows to see the outer
world with more clarity. As far as the Czech
literature is concerned, the legacy of Dostoevsky
is refl ected in the works of J. S.
Machar, E. Hostovský, and E. Bondy.
