LikedSo yeah, I would say The Gambler is fun, but also it's pretty sad to see all of these characters sort of gambling their lives away.
Gambler (1866)
Creators: Liked The Gambler (Russian: Игрокъ, romanized: Igrok; modern spelling Игрок) is a short 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 in 1866 under a strict deadline to pay off gambling debts.
