Summary

Originally published between 1860-2 in the journal "Vremya", "The House of the Dead" is a semi-autobiographical novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky about life in a Siberian prison camp. Having himself spent four years in such a camp after his exile for involvement in the "Petrashevsky Circle", Dostoevsky was able to paint a vivid and authentic picture of the conditions and the characters of the convicts, presented here as a loose collection of events, facts, and philosophical discussions
