Hello,
I need to record sound coming from a large space (a room) with a
microphone connected to a PC soundcard. So far the results have been
disappointing, and I've been suggested that I need to preamp the
microphone.
Can you kindly suggest a <VERY SIMPLE> circuit design (I'm a
begginer)? I don't need anything complicated, since I can sustain
without problem reasonable amounts of noise and distortion.

Thanks!

A PC sound card is designed to work with an electret mic. You are
probably using a dynamic mic.

Try typing "microphone amplifier" into Google, It's amazing what turns
up.
