Description
This is one of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s most famous works. According to the author himself, the main character was given the greater part of his own experiences and feelings.
A general mortgages his estate to Marquis De Grieux and now for more than half a year is waiting for the death of his sick aunt Antonida; after her passing, he is to receive a wealthy inheritance. Then he will marry a young, beautiful Frenchwoman. Meanwhile, De Grieux will take possession of the general’s estate.
Frenchmen, while waiting for big money, are constantly circling around the general, who isn’t very smart and loves gambling.
All of them look down on the teacher Alexey Ivanovich—one might say, like on a servant—and it painfully bites into his pride. Oh, how he is in love with Polina! The young man is firmly convinced that money is what can earn the respect of others—and, of course, his beloved. The only way to get it is to win at roulette.
