Description:Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Gambler is a riveting portrait of obsession, compulsion, and the human will caught in the grip of chance and passion.Inspired by Dostoyevsky’s own struggles with gambling addiction, the novel follows Alexei Ivanovich, a young tutor whose fate becomes intertwined with a decaying aristocratic family and their relentless pursuit of fortune and status. Set in a fictional German resort town, The Gambler charts Alexei’s emotional and moral descent as he becomes ensnared not only by the roulette wheel but also by his obsessive love for the enigmatic and manipulative Polina Alexandrovna.As Alexei spirals deeper into risk and desire, Dostoyevsky explores the psychology of gambling—its intoxicating promises, its devastating costs, and its reflection of a world driven by desperation and illusion. What begins as a tale of debt and chance evolves into a deeper meditation on power, humiliation, and the fractured nature of identity.Written under immense personal pressure, The Gambler captures Dostoyevsky’s literary genius in raw form—urgent, intense, and unflinchingly honest.This edition features the classic public domain translation by C.
