Zusammenfassung:In 1887, following several years' imprisonment for his role in the People's Will terrorist group, Ivan P. Iuvachëv was exiled with other political prisoners to the notorious Sakhalin penal colony. The penal colony emerged during the late 1860s and 1870s, and collapsed in 1905, under the weight of Japan's invasion of Sakhalin. The eight years between 1887 and 1895 that Iuvachëv spent on the island were some of the most tumultuous in the penal colony's existence. Originally published in 1901, his memoir offers a first-hand account of this netherworld that embodied the extremities of tsarist Russian penality. A valuable historical document as well as a work of literature testifying to one man's ability to retain his humanity amid a sea of human degradation, this annotated translation marks the first time Iuvachëv's memoir has appeared in any language besides Russian
