This article deals with the relationship between Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky and Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov. At first, it focuses on historical and biographical facts about both Russians – one litterateur and the other theologian and philosopher. It refers to their mutual interchange of ideas and impact which they had on each other, especially in Dostoyevsky’s Legend of Grand Inquisitor, which was part of Dostoyevsky’s last novel The Brothers Karamazov. Then the article analyzes the legend in the context of Solovyov’s ideas presented in his Lectures on Godman-hood and shows a development of Solovyov’s view of the Catholic Church. This provides the background for explaining the Legend – it should not be understood as a critique of Catholicism but as a critique of the abuse of authority.

In Dostoyevsky’s philosophy we can find a view on the essence of man which does not end in submission to God and his laws, but it is implemented in free acts of leaving God and returning to him. A convincing example of such an issue is the story of Rodion Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Crime and Punishment who by making a decision to commit murder, as a consequence of the division of people between „ordinary men” and „extraordinary men”, intends to break the law. The moral issue emerging from Crime and Punishment is treated in the present article as a starting point for considerations on human existence which is dynamic, and in no way can be subjected to rationalization.

This paper is an attempt to present the motif of alcohol in the works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, who can be considered the literary precursor of modern concepts concerning psychopathology of alcoholism. The motif of alcohol occurs in every novel of the Russian writer, where it makes an important element of human life, and evokes confessions and memories. Alcohol helps to forget and escape from reality, and eliminates existential pain. Among the characters appearing in the entire body of Dostoyevsky's works there are both drunkards and alcoholics. The most interesting literary presentation of the alcoholic is Marmeladov, a character from 'Crime and Punishment'.

JAQUES COPEAU, HIS DOSTOYEVSKY AND SLOVAKIA

100%
EN
Jaques Copeau dramatised the novel 'The Brothers Karamazov' by Dostoevsky together with Jean Croué in 1911 for Théâtre des Arts. It was then presented several times in his Paris theatre Vieux-Colombier. The dramatisation was reflecting Jacques Copeau's theatrical ideas through which he succeeded to reform French theatre in the middle of 20th century. His dramatisation was presented twice also in Slovakia. By a coincidence, it happened in the same Bratislava theatre - at Nová scéna (New Stage Theatre). First time it was in 1947, translated by Helena Malirova and Zora Jesenska and directed by Drahos Zelenský. The second staging took place in 1967, translated by Katarina Belnayová, directed by Jozef Palka. The dramatisation from 1911 was not anymore suitable for the theatre of the sixties and the Nova scena troupe was not able to perform demanding characters of Dostoyevsky creation.
