366 hal.; 19 cm n 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. Yet The House of the Dead is far more than a work of documentary realism: it is also a powerful novel of redemption, describing one man’s spiritual and moral death and the miracle of his gradual reawakening. novel inggris 823 9780140444568 PERPUSTAKAAN SMA REGINA PACIS SURAKARTA HUMANIS DAN BERWAWASAN GLOBAL - NPP : 3372011e2000003 /JAM BUKA Senin - Jumat : Open : 06.45 WIB /Close : 14.45 WIB / SABTU (Minggu ke 2) Open : 07.00 WIB /Close : 12.00 WIB 823 DAV t 24SR02652 My Library (800) 823 DAV t 16083 2024-01-16 14:00:29 2024-01-16 14:01:04 machine generated
