description: In this almost documentary account of his own experience of penal servitude in Siberia, renowned Russian writer Dostoevsky describes the physical and mental suffering of the convicts in relentless detail. Written several years after his release, with a strikingly uncharacteristic detachment, Memoirs From the House of the Dead ranks among Dostoevsky's greatest masterpieces.
