Dostoevsky’s short novel is told in the first person by a young man, Alexei, who is addicted to gambling. Its story of passion and despair is based on Dostoevsky’s own experience as a compulsive gambler--but Dostoevsky was able to break away, whereas Alexei vows to quit as soon as he breaks evenan event, it is clear, that will never happen. Like so many other characters in Dostoeveky’s novels, Alexei is trying to break through the wall of the established order and the human condition itself. But instead he is drawn into the roulette wheel’s vortex.

The Gambler is a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky about a young tutor in the employment of a formerly wealthy Russian General. The novella reflects Dostoevsky’s own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the inspiration for the book: Dostoevsky completed the novella under a strict deadline so he could pay off gambling debts.

A blow-by-blow account of ecstasy and despair, this narrative exposes one man’s battle with compulsive gambling. It is the harrowing memoir of Doug Little’s two-year binge as a compulsive gambler-a fall from grace that made national headlines, destroyed his life, and brought him to the very gates of prison, insanity, and death.
