Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel "The Gambler" is a psychological exploration of the destructive power of gambling addiction and human passion.

Dostoevsky wrote "The Gambler" in 26 days after losing everything he had. He promised his publisher he would complete the novel as quickly as possible and took up his pen. He effortlessly transferred the familiar passion of gambling to the pages of his work.

Alexei Ivanovich, a poor nobleman and tutor, lives with a general's family in the German resort of Roulettenburg. Madly in love leads him to the gambling hall. He is confident he can control the game. But he soon realizes: roulette is unforgiving.
