Not actually a manuscript of the story but rather a relationship chart?
Cyrillic cursive is still one of the coolest things in existence.
Mindmaps of a genius exploring chaos c.1880
I don’t know what’s weirder, this script itself or the fact that I can read it
I have no idea how people were able to read hand writing like that, I’m a bit interested in genealogy and was able to find the church books from when my grandfather was baptized and such but the hand writing literally looks like strands of pubes that have been glued to the page and I can only make out a word here and there
Yup, about as convoluted as the book is. Love it.
Tolstoy > Dostoevsky
Who typed it up?
Grand Inquisitor Fyodor Karamazov – 40k
I just had a semi-unrelated question, I remember reading a story about how one of these authors brought their manuscript to their publisher and the publisher’s maid accidentally put it in with the fire wood and it good burned in the fire – was that dostoevsky or was that tolstoy? anyone remember? having trouble getting google to answer it right now for some reason

Turns 200 in a few days. German weekly Die Zeit had a big cover story with him this week: https://shop.zeit.de/detail/index/sArticle/5943
Dostojewski “Rebell, Gambler, Prophet”
And I thought I was the only one dividing my writing into panels
Woah
It’s always a little weird when manuscripts have illustrations or little doodles but then the actual novel doesn’t have any.
Illustrations in weekly/monthly serials were actually quite popular back in the day.
