    The House of the Dead

    Written by Fyodor Dostoevsky

    Narrated by Frank Bryce

    ()

    About this audiobook

    The House of the Dead (Russian: Записки из Мёртвого дома, Zapiski iz Myortvovo doma) is a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1860-62 in the journal Vremya by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It has also been published in English under the titles Notes from the House of the Dead, Memoirs from the House of the Dead and Notes from a Dead House, which are more literal translations of the Russian title.
    The novel portrays the life of convicts in a Siberian prison camp. It is generally considered to be a fictionalised memoir; a loosely-knit collection of descriptions, events and philosophical discussion, organised around theme and character rather than plot, based on Dostoevsky's own experiences as a prisoner in such a setting. Dostoevsky spent four years in a forced-labour prison camp in Siberia following his conviction for involvement in the Petrashevsky Circle. This experience allowed him to describe with great authenticity the conditions of prison life and the characters of the convicts.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky

    Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) est un romancier, nouvelliste, essayiste et philosophe russe dont les œuvres littéraires explorent la psychologie humaine dans le contexte de la Russie du XIXe siècle. Ses œuvres majeures, dont Crime et Châtiment, Les Frères Karamazov et L'Idiot, abordent les thèmes de la moralité, du libre arbitre, de la culpabilité et de la rédemption. L'influence profonde de Dostoevsky sur la littérature et la philosophie existentielle fait de lui l'une des plus grandes figures littéraires de tous les temps.
