Providence and catastrophe in the European novel: Manzoni and Dostoevsky

In the book of Stefano Maria Kapilupi, a comparison of the plot line and poetic structures of the novels F.M. Dostoevsky and A. Manzdoni are revealed in a wider contrast of the "catastrophic" poetics of Dostoevsky (M.M. Bakhtin, D. Lukach, J. Di Dzhakomo), which primarily anticipates the psychologism of modern literature, and the historical poetics of the “betrothed” Manzoni as a model of classical European Roman. The results of a comparative analysis also expand the field of comparative studies of the European novel of the 19th century, identifying and arguing the possibility of the influence of the novel "Boiled" A. Mandzoni on the plan of plot lines in the process of creating the last novel by F.M. Dostoevsky
