Liam Mulvaney’s Reviews > Memoirs from the House of the Dead > Status Update

So far, I understand the camp hierarchy described by Dostoyevsky. What's understandable is that the main character was once a gentleman. The inmates mistreat him because of his social class.

I was completely blown away by the introduction I read chapter 1 to discover more about these prison camps. While I did not enjoy White Nights as much as I thought I would, I have to say I feel blown away by Dostoyevsky's prose.
