O nuvela, oarecum autobiografica, despre viata detinutilor intr-o inchisoare din Siberia pe la jumatatea secolului IX. O viata fara de viata!
Cateva citate:
"[Prison] it sucks the living sap out of man, wears down his spirit, weakens and browbeats him, and then presents the shrivelled, half demented mummy as a pattern of repentance and reform."
"Nothing can destroy quicker the will of man than work without purpose!"
Summary from Wikipedia:
The narrator, Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov, has been sentenced to penalty deportation to Siberia and ten years of hard labour. Life in prison is particularly hard for Aleksandr Petrovich, since he is a "gentleman" and suffers the malice of the other prisoners, nearly all of whom belong to the peasantry. Gradually Goryanchikov overcomes his revulsion at his situation and his fellow convicts, undergoing a spiritual re-awakening that culminates with his release from the camp. It is a work of great humanity; Dostoyevsky portrays the inmates of the prison with sympathy for their plight, and also expresses admiration for their energy, ingenuity and talent.
