The House of the Dead

by Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский

About This Book

IN the remoter parts of Siberia, in the midst of the steppes, the mountains, or the pathless forests, lie scattered a few small towns of one, or at most two, thousand inhabitants, plain little towns built of wood, with two churches-one in the town, the other in the cemetery,-which are more like the prosperous villages of the Moscow region than reveal towns.
