Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The House of the Dead: Or Prison Life in Siberia
eBook
( June 18, 2020)
The House of the Dead is a semi-autobiographical novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky,
which portrays the life of convicts in a Siberian prison camp. The novel has also been published
under the titles Memoirs from the House of The Dead, Notes from the Dead House (or Notes from a Dead House),
and Notes from the House of the Dead. The book is, essentially, a disguised memoir; a loosely-knit collection of facts,
events and philosophical discussion organised by "theme" rather than as a continuous story.
Dostoevsky himself spent four years in exile in such a prison following his conviction for involvement in
the Petrashevsky Circle. This experience allowed him to describe with great authenticity the conditions of
prison life and the characters of the convicts.
