In 1890, the thirty-year-old Chekhov, already knowing that he was
ill with tuberculosis, undertook an arduous eleven-week journey
from Moscow across Siberia to the penal colony on the island of
Sakhalin. Now collected here in one volume are the fully annotated
translations of his impressions of his trip through Siberia and the
account of his three-month sojourn on Sakhalin Island, together
with his notes and extracts from his letters to relatives and
associates. Highly valuable both as a detailed depiction of the
Tsarist system of penal servitude and as an insight into Chekhov's
motivations and objectives for visiting the colony and writing the
expose, Sakhalin Island is a haunting work which had a huge impact
both on Chekhov's career and on Russian society.
