L'isola di Sachalin è un reportage di viaggio dello scrittore russo Anton Cechov. L'opera apparve dapprima sotto forma di articoli e poi, riveduta, fu pubblicata nel 1895 suscitando vasta eco in Europa per i racconti sulle condizioni brutali vigenti nelle colonie penali zariste. Nel marzo 1890, Cechov progettò un lungo viaggio attraverso la Siberia fino all'isola di Sachalin, territorio nell'estremo oriente dell'Impero russo, a nord del Giappone, allo scopo di rendersi conto delle condizioni di vita delle migliaia di detenuti condannati e delle loro famiglie, lì trasferiti nei cinque campi di lavoro forzato. Dopo aver descritto la durezza del viaggio, la varietà di luoghi e di genti incontrati attraverso la Siberia, Cechov, in qualità di medico, compilò circa diecimila rapporti parlando con i detenuti e i loro familiari. L'autore, la cui salute era già cagionevole, rimase disgustato dalla corruzione dei carcerieri e inorridito dal trattamento riservato ai prigionieri e dal tipo di punizioni loro inflitte. Scrisse: «a Sachalin ci sono 860 famiglie legittime e 782 libere, e queste cifre definiscono a sufficienza la situazione familiare dei deportati che vivono nella colonia. Generalmente parlando, quasi la metà dell'intera popolazione adulta gode dei beni della vita familiare». Il viaggio iniziò il 21 aprile 1890: percorse la grandissima isola di Sachalin da luglio a ottobre; l'itinerario si concluse via mare il 1º dicembre e il 17 dello stesso mese scrisse: «prima del viaggio la Sonata a Kreutzer mi sembrava un avvenimento, oggi mi appare assurda e ridicola. O il viaggio mi ha maturato o io sono impazzito» Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: L'isola di Sachalin: dagli appunti di viaggio Titolo originale: Ostrov Sachalin. Iz putevych zapisok.
