Description
“The Gambler” takes an important place among F. M. Dostoevsky’s novels, which he conceived as a vivid, detailed depiction of roulette gambling. The writer was very familiar with both the theory and the practice of the game. For example, while in Wiesbaden in 1863, Fyodor Dostoevsky, over the course of a few days, lost all his own money and the money of his companion.
The main character of the work is Alexey Ivanovich, a tutor at home, in love with the stepdaughter of the head of the household, Polina. In order to help her, he begins playing roulette. Passion for the game that overwhelms everything, twists of fate, and romantic complications pull the novel’s heroes into a wild, endless whirl of events occurring at a fashionable resort in Germany.
