    Notes From a Dead House (also translated as The House of the Dead) is based on Dostoevsky’s experiences as a political prisoner serving four years of hard labor at a Siberian prison camp. His depiction of the lives of prisoners evokes compassion for the inmates and provides great insight into how his time in prison transformed him and influenced the major themes and outlook of his later works.

    We will read the Vintage Classics edition translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. ISBN# 978-0307949875
