This carefully crafted ebook: “The Gambler (The Unabridged Hogarth
Translation)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed
table of contents.
The Gambler is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky about a young tutor in the
employment of a formerly wealthy Russian general. The novella reflects
Dostoyevsky's own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the
inspiration for the book: Dostoyevsky completed the novella under a strict
deadline to pay off gambling debts.
The Gambler is set in the casino of the fictional German spa town of
Roulettenburg and follows the misfortunes of the young tutor Alexei Ivanovich.
As he succumbs to the temptations of the roulette table, he finds himself
engaged in a battle of wills with Polina, the woman he unrequitedly loves.
With an unforgettable cast of fellow gamblers and figures from European high
society, this darkly comic novel of greed and self-destruction reveals
Dostoevsky at his satirical and psychological best.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky ( 1821 – 1881) was a Russian novelist, short
story writer, essayist and philosopher. Dostoyevsky's literary works explore
human psychology in the context of the troubled political, social, and
spiritual atmosphere of 19th-century Russia. Many literary critics rate him as
one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.
