Ölüler Evinden Notlar

Shortly after Dostoyevsky wrote his first important stories and became more or less well-known, he was tried by the tsarist regime and sentenced to hard labor for some of his political activities. For this reason, he stayed away from literature and literary circles for about ten years. Notes from the House of the Dead contains observations from the camp in Siberia where Dostoyevsky was sent to serve his sentence. The stories, personalities, daily lives, fears, friendships and enmities of the prisoners... Dostoyevsky deals with the prisoners with his usual strong psychological analysis, extraordinary perspective and striking comments; He literally puts them in an observation room and watches them with the attitude of a scientist. It conveys the true face of Tsarist Russia and the terrible injustice it experienced and inflicted on all its citizens. What is a crime, who is the criminal? Where can one find the universal law that would reveal this?

Notes from the House of the Dead meant a glorious return to the world of literature for Fyodor Dostoyevsky after a ten-year break. For today's readers, above all else, it represents an indispensable classic.
