Example Sentences
- "This reference to Christ is typical of Dostoevski; he was, in the most reverent sense of the term, “Christ-intoxicated.” His mind was shaped largely by a single book, the New Testament, and from it he drew his major literary themes and his deepest personal convictions. As a result, the Dostoevskean universe is at once more real and less real than the world which witnesses the daily struggle for “advantage” by both men and nations."
- "Perhaps there was somewhere here—certainly there was later—a dark, even sinister side when Dostoevskean “demons” took possession."
- "Having succeeded in escaping from Ireland, after the assassination, McDara is haunted, in a Dostoevskean mode, by his own conscience. He is tortured while awake and asleep by a vision of the scene of assassination."
