A young tutor accompanies the family of a retired general to the spa town of Roulettenburg. The general, ruined, awaits an inheritance from a wealthy aunt while maintaining an unsustainable lifestyle. The protagonist, deeply in love with Polina, the general's stepdaughter, is drawn into the world of roulette, discovering a fascination and euphoria that transcend simple probability calculations. Written in just one month, this masterpiece by Fyodor Dostoevsky explores vanity, obsession, and moral misery in a society that values appearances above all else. Originally published in 1866, 'The Gambler' is one of the author's most intense and personal novels, reflecting his own experiences in casinos.
