audible1 recording of The Gambler, by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Translated by C.J. Hogarth.
Read by Jason Ingolfsland and Bill Boerst.
The Gambler 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 under a strict deadline so he could pay off gambling debts.
