The Gambler
Formats & Editions
Perhaps better than any other work of fiction, Dostoevsky s novel The Gambler captures and analyzes gaming s fatal attraction. We follow Aleksey Ivanovich s ups and downs in the make-believe German city of Roulettenburg, where nationalities mix in a frenzied competition for money and status. Written in twenty-six days to beat an unscrupulous publisher s deadline, The Gambler is based on the author s own struggles with gambling addiction. It will leave readers amused and baffled at Aleksey s contradictory and self-destructive energy.
