‘Here was the house of the living dead, a life like none other upon earth’In January 1850 Dostoyevsky was sent to a remote Siberian prison camp for his part in a political conspiracy. The four years he spent there, startlingly re-created in The House of the Dead, were the most agonizing of his life. In this fictionalized account he recounts his soul-destroying incarceration through the cool, detached tones of his narrator, Aleksandr Petrovich Goryanchikov: the daily battle for survival, the wooden plank beds, the cabbage soup swimming with cockroaches, his strange ‘family’ of boastful, ugly, cruel convicts.

REVIEW :
Zoe’s the one with the conflict and she’s running scared. A great little book for beginners.. A quasi-autobiographical work, the writer used the days he spent in Siberia prison to create powerful moments of sadness, fear and hope. Most interesting is the 'true' story of AMLETH, chronicled around 1100 by Saxo Grammaticus. April 6, 2016.
As a practicing psychiatrist I give thanks that Western mind-science now has the courage to scientifically embrace and explore the living phenomena that are the deepest foundation of our fullest subjective experience of being alive without first chopping them up into pieces that will fit into the neat little boxes of the DSM-V.
Embodying this wisdom and courage, Dr. In the last year, I have found lots of information about how food and lifestyle can improve if not completely heal some of our common health issues in this day and age. Sa
