This edition of Dostoyevsky’s Selected Works contains Notes from the Dead House, written in 1860-1862, upon the writer’s return from his exile in Siberia.
In Notes from the Dead House Dostoyevsky describes the four tormenting years of hard labour, to which he was sentenced in 1850 for his involvement in the Petrashevsky circle (a group of Utopian socialists), and the ‘extraordinary’ collection of people he met there. ‘Among these criminals are the most gifted, the strongest people of our entire nation’, Dostoyevsky was to write to his brother Mikhail, while to another brother, Andrei, he describes the experience of being a convict ‘as a time when I was buried alive’.
Notes from the Dead House produced a startling impression on contemporary readers: a work of literature, it also had great value as an eye-witness account of a hitherto little explored aspect of reality.

Included in this volume is the story Notes from the Dead House, written by Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1860-1862 after doing his term of hard labour in Siberia, service in the army as a private, and then exile, to which he was sentenced in 1850 for participation in Petrashevsky revolutionary group.
The newspaper Russky Mir (Russian World) published the preface and the first four chapters of this book in 1860-1861. The full text first appeared in Vremya (Time), a magazine edited by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and his brother Mikhail, in April-December 1862

Description

In 1988 RADUGA begun the publication in English translation of selected works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881), one of the greatest Russian writers and thinkers whose whole life was dedicated to finding the answers to the most burning questions of human existence which continue to engage the minds of people to this day. RADUGA published Dostoyevsky’s novels and stories fully representative of his genius.

The novel Poor People (1845) was the first book published by the young writer, and it started him on his way to world-wide fame. Dostoyevsky’s concern for the “little man” crushed by need, whose inner world he tried to fathom and understand, is already clearly manifested in all his early short stories included in the first book to come out: “Mister Prokharchin” (1846), “The Landlady” (1847), “A Faint Heart” (1848), “An Honest Thief” (1848), and “White Nights” (1849)-the most poetic story in Russian literature.

“…human beings remain human everywhere. And in the four years of hard labour in Siberia I at last came to distinguish human beings among the thieves. Will you believe me: there are deep, strong, beautiful characters, and what a joy it was to discover gold beneath the rough, hard shell… How many popular types, characters have I brought with me out of penal servitude! I have lived in the closest possible contact with them and consequently, it seems, know them pretty well… What a wonderful people. Altogether no time has been lost to me if I have come to know if not Russia, then the Russian people well, and so well as perhaps not many know them.”
— From a letter Dostoyevsky wrote to his brother Mikhail, dated 22 February, 1854

“…How much youth was interred here between these walls for no purpose, what great forces had perished in here to no avail. This has got to be said, all of it, openly: the people here were extraordinary people. Perhaps they possessed the most talents and the greatest strength of all our people. Yet this great strength perished here, and perished unnaturally, unlawfully, irrevocably. Who is to blame for this?”
— Dostoyevsky, “Notes from the Dead House”

“Feeling poorly recently, I read Notes from the Dead House. I’d forgotten a lot of it, so I reread it, and I know of no better book among recent works of literature… It is not so much the tone as the viewpoint that is astonishing: genuine, natural and Christian. It’s a good, edifying book. I enjoyed myself all day yesterday as I haven’t for a long time. If you see Dostoyevsky, tell him that I love him.” — Lev Tolstoy, Letter to Strakhov, dated 26 September, 1880

“I’m most grateful for the two issues of Vremya you sent me, which I’ve read with great enjoyment. Particularly your Notes from the Dead House. The bathhouse scene is simply Dantean, and in your portrayal of the different characters (for instance, Petrov), there is much subtle, accurate psychology.” — Tvan Turgenev, Letter to Dostoyevsky, dated end of December, 1861
