The House of the Dead (Russian: Записки из Мёртвого дома , "Zapiski iz Myortvogo doma") is a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1860–2 in the journal "Vremya" by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which portrays the life of convicts in a Siberian prison camp.  The novel has also been published under the titles Memoirs from the House of The Dead and Notes from the Dead House (or Notes from a Dead House).  The book is a loosely-knit collection of facts, events and philosophical discussion organised by "theme" rather than as a continuous story.
