Notes from the House of the Dead

This book touched me very much. It truly showed the life of convicts, just like the hardship I felt when I was working. The stories in the book made me understand that no matter how difficult life is, we must have the courage to face it. I loved the characterization in the book, it made me see the complexity of each person. This book makes me appreciate my current life more and also gives me a deeper understanding of human nature.

"Notes from the House of the Dead" shows the purgatory of Tsarist Russian hard labor prisoners, and Dostoyevsky reveals the intertwining of good and evil in human nature with cold writing. There is still a glimmer of light in the darkness, which shocks the soul and makes people think deeply about the complex relationship between the system and human nature.

People of all colors gather here, and the complexity of human nature is reflected here. It is interesting to see how people react differently when they are in trouble. The most interesting thing was prison life, which satisfied my curiosity. "Prisoners are human beings but may not be human beings."

This is the first book I read by Dostoevsky. It is not only a record of exile life in Siberia, but also a profound anatomy of human nature by Dostoevsky. There is no intense dramatic conflict in the book, but with calm and restrained writing, it describes the living conditions of prisoners in extremely repressive environments - including persistence in dignity, desire for friendship, and numbness and struggle against suffering. Although the names of Russian books are too difficult to remember🥲

"My wandering is finally over: I am in prison!" I said to myself from time to time. "This is the place where I will spend a long time. I stepped into this corner with such a painful feeling of distrust... Who knows? Maybe when I leave many years later, I will still be reluctant to say goodbye!..." "If you want to completely overpower and crush a person, and if you want to inflict on him the most terrible punishment, so that even the most terrible murderer will be afraid of hearing it and dare not try the law, then all you have to do is make the labor useless and meaningless."

This book describes human nature very realistically and thoroughly, and describes the dark and gloomy side of human nature very concretely, including kindness, and the scenery is also described as life-like, with a sense of picture, and human nature has both good and evil.

This man really knows how to write, and his photos are great. In my opinion, he is the best man who can write books (*^▽^*) As expected of Tuo Weng, the reading experience here is unparalleled elsewhere. The characters in Doshi's works are always different from ordinary people, almost like madmen, but this group of madmen can always make you remember them.

Human life is like this. You have no choice, you are pushed away by a bad society or bad human nature, and you have to pay hundreds of times to compensate. I am indeed looking at the world with tears.

It describes prison life in detail, and the characterization of the characters is exceptionally well done, revealing the face of Russian society from the side.
