The Gambler
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Publisher: eBooks@Adelaide 2003
ISBN/ASIN: 0393316491
Description:
The Gambler brilliantly captures the strangely powerful compulsion to bet that Dostoyevsky, himself a compulsive gambler, knew so well. The hero rides an emotional roller coaster between exhilaration and despair, and secondary characters such as the Grandmother, who throws much of her fortune away at the gaming tables, are unforgettable.
