Produktbeschreibung

What if you discovered the soul's true strength inside a prison?

In The House of the Dead, Fyodor Dostoevsky delivers one of the most moving and unforgettable accounts of incarceration in world literature.

Drawing from his own four-year sentence in a Siberian penal colony, Dostoevsky reveals the daily struggles, physical punishments, and psychological torment endured by prisoners-but also the unexpected glimpses of kindness, humanity, and hope.

This modern translation faithfully preserves the power and detail of Dostoevsky's reflections while making them accessible to today's reader. Through the eyes of the nobleman Goryanchikov, sentenced for murder, we witness the brutal routines, the caste-like prisoner hierarchies, and the fragile moments of compassion that survive against all odds.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

• A Firsthand Look at Life in a Tsarist Labor Camp - Experience the physical and emotional toll of Siberian imprisonment.
• The Psychology of Prisoners and Guards - Delve into the complex mental world of both oppressors and the oppressed.
• Moments of Redemption and Humanity - Explore how the human spirit clings to dignity, even in degradation.
• A Candid Meditation on Crime, Suffering, and Spiritual Growth - Understand how suffering can transform character and belief.

A vital document of Russian history and a timeless story of resilience, The House of the Dead is more than a prison memoir-it's a philosophical journey into the heart of what it means to be human.
