''Masterful, gripping ..filled with astonishing, vivid and heartbreaking stories of crime and punishment, of redemption, love and terrifying violence. It has an amazing cast of despots, murderers, whores and heroes. It''s a wonderful read'' Simon Sebag Montefiore
It was known as ''the vast prison without a roof''From the beginning of the nineteenth century to the Russian Revolution, the tsarist regime exiled more than one million prisoners and their families beyond the Ural Mountains to Siberia.
The House of the Dead, brings to life both the brutal realities of an inhuman system and the tragic and inspiring fates of those who endured itThis is the vividly told history of common criminals and political radicals, the victims of serfdom and village politics, the wives and children who followed husbands and fathers, and of fugitives and bounty-hunters.
The tsars looked on Siberia as creating the ultimate political quarantine from the contagions of revolutionGenerations of rebels - republicans, nationalists and socialists - were condemned to oblivion thousands of kilometres from European Russia. Over the nineteenth century, however, these political exiles transformed Siberia''s mines, prisons and remote settlements into an enormous laboratory of revolution.
This masterly work of original research taps a mass of almost unknown primary evidence held in Russian and Siberian archives to tell the epic story both of Russia''s struggle to govern its monstrous penal colony and Siberia''s ultimate, decisive impact on the political forces of the modern world.
''An absolutely fascinating book, rich in fact and anecdote.'' - David Aaronovitch
''A splendid example of academic scholarship for a public audienceYet even though he is an impressively calm and sober narrator, the injustices and atrocities pile up on every page.'' - Dominic Sandbrook
''A superb, colourful history of Siberian exile under the tsars'' - The Times
