    P. F. Iakubovich represents the many young people whose opposition to the Russian state turned to extremism during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His conviction and banishment to forced labor and settlement in Siberia was an experience many shared. But unlike most, he detailed his experiences in a thrilling and insightful roman à clef. Like Dostoyevskys and Chekhovs better-known accounts, Iakubovichs novel paints a picture of fellow criminal inmates that is both objective and insightful. In the World of the Outcasts proved especially popular, appearing first in serial form between 1895 and 1898, and then as a book through three editions prior to 1917. Along with other exposés of official malfeasance and corruption, it helped to focus popular resentment against the Romanovs. The book reappeared in 1964, in one of the last breaths of fresh air before Khrushchev was supplanted by Brezhnevs neo-Stalinism. Like Dostoyevskys Notes from a Dead House before it, and Solzhenitsyns One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich after it, Iakubovichs Outcasts is both an historical document and a work of literary fiction, though all three laid bare the facts of Russias penal system. This translation marks the first appearance of Iakubovichs masterpiece in English.
