Immerse yourself in the turbulent life of Alexéi Ivánovich, the tutor of General Zagorianski's family, who is drawn into the whirlwind of gambling in the spa town of Ruletemburgo. In this hostile setting, fortune and destiny intertwine, while Alexéi surrenders to the roulette, his spirit is disturbed by his feelings towards Polina, the general's stepdaughter. Dostoevsky displays his genius in this cartography of human passions and obsessions, reflecting on the power of uncontrollable desires in our luck and will. An autobiographical work written to settle the author's debts with his own gambling addiction, now presented in a new translation by Marta Rebón.
