The house of the dead : or, Prison life in Siberia by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"The House of the Dead: or, Prison life in Siberia" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a semi-autobiographical novel published between 1860 and 1862. Based on Dostoyevsky's own four years in a Siberian labor camp, the work follows nobleman Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov as he endures brutal conditions and hostility from fellow prisoners. Through vivid portrayals of convicts and their crimes, the narrator undergoes a spiritual transformation, discovering unexpected humanity among hardened criminals while exposing
the tragic absurdity of prison life in Russia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
