On 22nd December 1849 the young political criminal was led out,with twenty others,for execution by firing-squad in the Semenovsky Square in St Petersburg. This is just an exerpt from Fedor Dovstoeskys chilling accounts in Memoirs of the house of the dead which I think is a brilliant work of literature,especially when Dovstoevsky had lived this nightmare being in penal servitude in Siberia.
Definitely one of my favorite novels of all time.

I started reading that novel but didn't finish it. I really loved Crime & Punishment, the Idiot, and the Gamblers a LOT though!!

Thumbs up Dostoyevsky Novels
hey I love Dostoyevsky, Memories of the House of the Death was the first book I read from him, and from there I realized I liked him very much, my favourite writer probably, have read Crime and Punishment, the Brothers Karamazov ,White Nights and some short stories
I think his books, beyond morality have a lot of existencial phylosophy
