In 1849, Dostoevsky was sentenced to four years at hard labor in a Siberian prison camp for participating in a socialist discussion group. The novel he wrote after his release, based on notes he smuggled out, not only brought him fame, but also founded the tradition of Russian prison writing. Notes from a Dead House (sometimes translated as The House of the Dead) depicts brutal punishments, feuds, betrayals, and the psychological effects of confinement, but it also reveals the moments of comedy and acts of kindness that Dostoevsky witnessed among his fellow prisoners.
To get past government censors, Dostoevsky made his narrator a common-law criminal rather than a political prisoner, but the perspective is unmistakably his own. His incarceration was a transformative experience that nourished all his later works, particularly Crime and Punishment. Dostoevsky's narrator discovers that even among the most debased criminals there are strong and beautiful souls. His story is, finally, a profound meditation on freedom: "The prisoner himself knows that he is a prisoner; but no brands, no fetters will make him forget that he is a human being."

Stylish, Comfortable, and Versatile
Size: 11.5, Color: Ivory/Natural
I purchased the Cole Haan GrandPro Rally Canvas Court Sneakers in the cream/white color for both my husband and my brother, and they absolutely love them. These sneakers are sharp-looking, versatile, and pair well with everything from jeans to more polished, dressy-casual outfits. Most importantly, they're incredibly comfortable right out of the box. The quality and craftsmanship are exactly what I've come to expect from Cole Haan. If you're looking for a clean, classic sneaker that can be dressed up or down, I highly recommend these. A great purchase all around!

Solid sneakers—worth it on a good discount
Size: 9, Color: Vintage Indigo Canvas/Natural
These sneakers are solid overall. They look good and feel comfortable for everyday use, and the quality is what I’d expect from the brand. One thing to note: if you have to walk a lot, they can start to feel less comfortable on the top of the foot (upper area). It’s not a dealbreaker, but you’ll notice it on longer days. That said, they’re definitely worth it if you catch a really good discount.
