«El jugador» is the novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky published by El Mundo in the collection Las 100 joyas del milenio in hardcover (100 pages, in Spanish).
In a German spa town, the Russian tutor Alekséi Ivánovich is swept along by the roulette wheel and by his obsessive love for a capricious woman. Dostoevsky shows him chained to luck, trapped by debts and amorous intrigues, while portraying a gallery of characters who entrust their fate to chance and end up losing more than just money.
With a prologue by Jesús Ferrero and a translation by Victoriano Imbert, it is volume 16 of El Mundo's Millenium collection. The novel was originally published in 1866.
For readers of nineteenth-century Russian fiction and stories about self-destructive passions.
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was a Russian philosopher, novelist, short-story writer, essayist and journalist. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in both Russian and world literature, and many of his works are considered highly influential masterpieces. Dostoevsky's literary works explore the human condition in the troubled political, social and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of philosophical and religious themes. His most acclaimed novels include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), Demons (1872), The Adolescent (1875) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). His Notes from Underground, a novella published in 1864, is considered one of the first works of existentialist literature.
