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.
