Zenith Starlight Media, 2025

?? A man consumed by passion—for love, for fortune, and for the thrill of the game. ?? Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Gambler is a gripping psychological novel that plunges readers into the feverish world of risk, desire, and moral conflict. Written in a burst of creative urgency to pay off the author's own gambling debts, this semi-autobiographical masterpiece captures the intensity of obsession and the torment of human weakness. The story follows Alexei Ivanovich, a young tutor employed by a Russian general, who becomes entranced by both Polina, the general's stepdaughter, and the dangerous allure of the roulette table. As Alexei's infatuation spirals into addiction, he is drawn deeper into a cycle of passion and ruin, gambling not only with money but with his soul. Dostoevsky lays bare the psychology of compulsion with striking honesty, exploring how love and greed intertwine in the face of fate. Through his trademark insight and emotional power, he transforms one man's downfall into a timeless reflection on the fragility of human will. Fast-paced, darkly humorous, and painfully real, The Gambler remains one of Dostoevsky's most personal and electrifying works—a novel that reveals the heart of both the addict and the artist. ??
