Synopsis

Accused of political subversion as a young man, Dostoyevsky was sentenced to four years of hard labour in a Siberian prison camp. Years later, he drew on that experience to create a semi-autobiographical memoir centred on a man condemned to penal servitude for murdering his wife.

Presented as a haunting and remarkable work, it is described as ranking among the author’s greatest masterpieces. Suitable for readers interested in biography and memoir.
