Description

The House of the Dead was written in 1861 just following Dostoevsky’s four-year prison internment, and there is no doubt that this splendid novel depicts much of what he saw and experienced during that time. The story is a fictionalized memoir of a man serving a ten-year prison sentence for murdering his wife. The characters include a whole range of tormented people, from the primitive peasant who kills without understanding that he is destroying a human life, to the irritating, anxious antihero of Notes from the Underground, a man who both craves and despises affection.
