A review by zeibeat
The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky
4.0
Dostoyevski wrote this short novel under humongous pressure from his editor as he made a deal that would help him repay gambling debts if he delivered the story on time. There it is. A tormented book about love and addiction.
I loved the chapter where Alex goes gambling with the stubborn widow and I didn't like much the affair with Paulina, tainted with a highly dramatic tone like other works from the century
