| Summary |
"Zápisky z mrtvého domu" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the life of political prisoners in Siberia, as recounted through the reflections of the main character, who is himself a former inmate. It explores themes of suffering, human nature, and the complexities of morality within the harsh environment of a penal colony. At the start of the novel, the narrator describes the bleak surroundings of a small Siberian town characterized by simplicity and a heavy police presence. He introduces Alexander Petrovich Gorjančikov, a nobleman who has been exiled to Siberia for the murder of his wife. Gorjančikov leads a quiet life as a schoolteacher, and the narrator becomes intrigued by his mysterious persona. As the story unfolds, we see glimpses into the lives of the prisoners, the oppressive conditions they endure, and the interactions that reveal the deeper struggles and moral dilemmas they face in a world that has stripped them of their freedom.
