1 | The Gambler | Fyodor Dostoevsky |
One of Dostoevsky's shorter novels, "The Gambler" reflects the author's own difficult and prolonged battles with gambling as one of his major addictions. It is the story of a young man with aspirations to see and go beyond the established order, but in reality only gets stuck deeper and deeper into addiction and degradation. Dostoevsky does a great job in painting the psychological portrait of the protagonist, Alexey, who is having difficulties finding meaning in life and himself. |
