Further DetailsTitle: The House of the Dead Condition: New Description: A searing account of the time Dostoyevsky spent in a Siberian prison camp for his part in a political conspiracy‘Here was the house of the living dead, a life like none other upon earth’ In January 1850 Dostoyevsky was sent to a remote Siberian prison camp for his part in a political conspiracy. The four years he spent there, startlingly re-created in The House of the Dead , were the most agonizing of his life. In this fictionalized account he describes his soul-destroying incarceration through the cool, detached tones of his narrator, Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov: the daily battle for survival, the wooden plank beds, his strange ‘family’ of boastful, cruel convicts. Yet this is far more than a work of documentary realism; it is also a powerful novel of redemption, exploring one man’s spiritual death and the miracle of his reawakening.Edited with an Introduction and Notes by David McDuff Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky Contributor: David McDuff (Introduction by), David McDuff (Translated by) EAN: 9780140444568 ISBN: 9780140444568 Format: Paperback Item Height: 198mm Item Length: 129mm ISBN-10: 0140444564 Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Genre: Fiction Publisher: Penguin Classics Release Date: 09/26/1985 Language: English, Russian Item Width: 21mm Item Weight: 269g Translator: David McDuff Topic: Classic Fiction Release Year: 1985 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
