Notes :
The House of the Dead (Russian: Zapiski iz Myortvovo doma; the novel has also been published in English under the titles Memoirs from the House of The Dead, Notes from the Dead House, Notes from a Dead House, and Notes from the House of the Dead) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky, which portrays the life of convicts in a Siberian prison camp. It was first published in the journal Vremya, where the first part was published in 1860 and the second one in 1862. The novel's first complete appearance was in book form in 1862. The book is, essentially, a disguised memoir; a loosely-knit collection of facts, events and philosophical discussion organised by "theme" rather than as a continuous story. Dostoevsky himself spent four years in exile in such a prison following his conviction for involvement in the Petrashevsky Circle. This experience allowed him to describe with great authenticity the conditions of prison life and the characters of the convicts.
