Letters from Prison (white Night Series)

About This Novel
In April 1849, Dostoevsky was arrested and sentenced to death in December of the same year. Before execution, his sentence was changed to four years of hard labor and then exiled to the army. The letters he wrote to his elder brother and younger brother in prison describe his life in prison, especially the last letter, which describes his psychological state when he was on the verge of death. These letters record his initial exploration of the limits of the human mind. Even in the most severe desperate situation, he did not lose his strong will to write, and almost relied on writing to support his entire existence. Dostoevsky also published many articles in newspapers. In his prose, as in his novels, Dostoevsky appears as an irreplaceable spiritual phenomenon. They are not only must-read texts for us to understand this literary giant, but also profoundly reveal many fundamental characteristics of modern people's lives and consciousness.
