Notes: In this autobiography of a Russian landowner condemned to penal servitude in Siberia, Dostoevsky hardly troubles to disguise his own experiences.  He traces the different effects of imprisonment on the moral nature, in the life-stories of a group of criminals.  It is a terrible record of the anguish of the prisoner's lot.

First published in Russian in 1861-62; in England in 1881 under title:  Prison life in Siberia and Memorials of a dead house.
