The House of the Dead is fragmented diary of a man convicted to the Siberian prison camp in Czarists Russia after murdering his wife. Often regarded as semi-autobiografical and closely connected to Dostoevsky's prison time that deeply changed him and irreversibly influenced his writing.

In December 2016, Variety reported that Stories International and Circle of Confusion will produce a new House of the Dead film.

It is a phrase synonymous with misery and suffering. Below zero temperatures. Hard labor. Isolation. Physical punishment. It is everything that reminds me of how fortunate I am to be reading Dostoyevsky’s semi-autobiographical work instead of actually living it. It paints an image of prison life that is a hundred times more primitive than many of the lazy country club prisons of today’s western world. Just how bad was it in 19th century Siberia? My curiosity found this novel irresistible. I just had to find out what this lifestyle was in a bygone time in a country that has had a very troubled and complicated past. I was ready to enter the House of the Dead.

Convicts are often described in a sentence, or paragraph, still containing, in the most condensed form, the essence of their being and the tragedy of their life. Out of his more typical writing, Dostoevsky does not go further into the psychological breakdown of one character, exposing the underlying philosophies and instincts that are the driving forces of the individual, as whole life stories often narrated only in a vignette, described only as factual, without imposing his own keen observation or meaning to it. There is a sense of exhaustion in the narrator in the squalor he finds himself in. He does not have the vigor to examine life - only to document it. In the end, he is in the House of dead, immersed in apathy, where Dostoevskian qualities fade, even in Dostoevsky himself, in which, I, paradoxically, found glimpses of hope and relief. There is dejection in face of the intricacy of life embodied in the prison system, where the narrator both gives up and resists elucidation. Sometimes life becomes so heavy it is impossible to interpret in a coherent manner and all we can do is step away and quietly observe it. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1862). Memoirs from the House of the Dead.
