Abstract
Medical doctors and friends alike have confirmed that Dostoevsky suffered from epilepsy. It was an essential part of the poet's life, his selfdetermination and literary creativity.

The novel became a paradigm of modernism in which medicine and literature are no longer contradictions, but offer an analytic view of human existence.
