    Zápisky z mŕtveho domu
    New Life of Anton Chekhov
    • Zápisky z mŕtveho domu začal Dostojevskij písať ešte v roku 1855. Zobrazuje všetky hlbiny ľudských duší schovaných v ďalekej drsnej Sibíri, kde tisícky kilometrov od svojich domovov žijú trestanci zo všetkých končín Ruskej ríše. Sú to najrozličnejší ľudia – vrahovia, lupiči, zlodeji, primitívi i vysokí vzdelanci, ľudia vinní i nevinní. Týchto všetkých Dostojevskij ukazuje z hlboko ľudského pohľadu. Zápisky z mŕtveho domu nám pomôžu nazrieť ako do vnútra samotného autora, tak aj do temných a nešťastných čias, v ktorých sa dej odohráva.
