About this deal

A World Apart 2 Gustaw-Herling Grudziński plain 2021-12-17T19:12:41+00:00 Swarthmore Russian 037 1951 Gustaw-Herling Grudziński 60. 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. Of course, prisons and the system of forced labor do not correct the criminal; they only punish him and ensure society against the evildoer’s further attempts on its peace and quiet. Ward 7 2 Valery Yakovlevich Tarsis plain 2021-12-17T19:13:26+00:00 Swarthmore Russian 037 1965 Valery Yakovlevich Tarsis 55.

The novel he wrote after his release, based on notes he smuggled out, not only brought him fame, but also founded the tradition of Russian prison writing. Dostoevsky details how prison life deprives prisoners of privacy and dignity, forcing them into filthy and confined conditions. Comradely Greetings 2 Nadezhda Andreyevna Tolokonnikova plain 2021-12-17T19:22:02+00:00 Swarthmore Russian 037 2014 Nadezhda Andreyevna Tolokonnikova 54. PLOT SUMMARY: Notes from a Dead House begins with a narrator introducing Alexander Petrovich Goryanchikov, an ex-convict who killed his wife and was sentenced to hard labor in a Siberian prison camp after turning himself in. In 1932 The House of the Dead was made into a film, directed by Vasili Fyodorov and starring Nikolay Khmelyov.To avoid censorship, Dostoevsky made his protagonist a common criminal, but the perspective is unmistakably his own.

This narrator discusses Goryanchikov's background as a convict, his crime and his sentence, and the nature of his life as a Siberian colonist after his release.Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoyevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and through books by Russian and foreign authors. It’s one of the guiding assumptions behind Notes from a Dead House that the novel as a form can accommodate the free, nimble movements even of a consciousness linked to an imprisoned body. You could also argue that he came to the less lofty conclusion that Alexander Petrovich, the author of the found text that comprises most of Notes from a Dead House, arrives at in a late chapter: that the Russian working class is too unruly, too temperamentally varied, and too frustratingly human to bear any generalizations well. Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov plain 2021-12-17T19:08:55+00:00 Swarthmore Russian 037 2007 Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov 55. This experience allowed him to describe with great authenticity the conditions of prison life and the characters of the convicts.
