Sinossi

In an ancient English mansion surrounded by fog and secrets, a young governess accepts the task of caring for two orphaned children, whose innocence soon begins to seem too perfect. Isolated from the world and with no company but the servants and the echoes of the past, the governess starts to perceive strange figures in the gardens, apparitions that no one else seems to see or admit.

Narrated with subtle and immersive mastery, The Turn of the Screw is a haunting work that continually challenges the reader's perception. Henry James weaves a story where the real and the imagined intertwine until they become indistinguishable, exploring the boundaries between reason and fear, truth and suggestion.

    The House of the Dead

    Fyodor Dostoevsky

    The House of the Dead (Russian: Записки из Мёртвого дома, Zapiski iz Myortvovo doma) is a semi-autobiographical novel published in 1860-62 in the journal Vremya by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It has also been published in English under the titles Notes from the House of the Dead, Memoirs from the House of the Dead and Notes from a Dead House, which are more literal translations of the Russian title.
    The novel portrays the life of convicts in a Siberian prison camp. It is generally considered to be a fictionalised memoir; a loosely-knit collection of descriptions, events and philosophical discussion, organised around theme and character rather than plot, based on Dostoevsky's own experiences as a prisoner in such a setting. Dostoevsky spent four years in a forced-labour prison camp in Siberia following his conviction for involvement in the Petrashevsky Circle. This experience allowed him to describe with great authenticity the conditions of prison life and the characters of the convicts.
