A Siberian Memoir about the Dead House -- 2. Omsk Affairs -- 3. Beyond Omsk -- IndexTranslations in Travels from Dostoevsky's Siberia, gathered from archives and appearing in English for the first time, offer a fresh look at Dostoevsky's House of the Dead from the perspective of his fellow inmates and Siberians who were imprisoned, tortured, and exiled by the regime of Nicholas I. Drawing on archival resources and illustrations, introductory essays immerse the reader in the experience of the political prisoners who must navigate the criminal environment of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse by negotiating with inmates and authorities alike. These eyewitness accounts introduce the reader to Dostoevsky's unfortunates-condemned to share his experience of Russia's carceral system with its interrogations, denunciations, and hostile spaces-whose psychoses become the writer's obsession in his celebrated crime novels.Studies in comparative literature and intellectual history.Exiles' writings, PolishTranslations into EnglishExiles' writings, PolishHistory and criticismExilesRussia (Federation)Siberia, WesternBiographyBronisław Zaleski.Catholic.Dostoevskii.Dostoevsky.Edward Żeligowski.Fedor.Gulag.House of the Dead.Józef Bogusławski.Omsk.Orenburg.Petrashevsky Affair.Petrashevtsy.Polish Question.Polish exiles.Rufin Piotrowski.Siberia.Siberian.carceral.exile.prison.Exiles' writings, PolishExiles' writings, PolishHistory and criticism.Exiles891.733Blake Elizabeth A., edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910826254803321Travels from Dostoevsky's Siberia3989716UNINA
