The Gambler is a riveting portrait of a desperate young man in the grip of gambling addiction, a compulsion that author Dostoyevsky knew about intimately. In this succinct but powerful novel, the Russian master examines the irresistible impulses in human nature that take us to the dark side. The heroine of the story, Polina, is based on Polina Suslova, Dostoyevsky's lover in 1862-63.

Portrait

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) is one of the towering figures of world literature. His novels probe the depths of human psychology, explore the existential struggle between faith and nihilism, and confront the political and spiritual crises of 19th-century Russia. Born in Moscow to a stern army doctor and a devout, gentle mother, Dostoyevsky grew up surrounded by both suffering and literature. The death of his mother in 1837 and his father's violent demise two years later deeply affected him. Initially trained as a military engineer, Dostoyevsky soon abandoned this path for writing. His first novel, Poor Folk (1846), was acclaimed as a new voice of social compassion. In 1849, he was arrested for associating with the Petrashevsky Circle, a group of reformist intellectuals. After a mock execution, his sentence was commuted to hard labor in Siberia-a searing experience that reshaped his worldview, deepened his Christian faith, and gave him firsthand insight into human suffering and resilience. He recounted this ordeal in The House of the Dead. Returning from exile, Dostoyevsky faced financial and emotional turmoil. He lost his first wife and brother in 1864, struggled with gambling and epilepsy, but also produced some of his most powerful works: Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and Demons. His marriage to Anna Grigoryevna Snitkina in 1867 brought stability; she managed his debts and supported his creative work. Dostoyevsky's final masterpiece, The Brothers Karamazov (1880), is a philosophical epic exploring free will, morality, and faith, culminating in the famous "Grand Inquisitor" parable. He died in 1881 in St. Petersburg, his funeral drawing a massive crowd. Dostoyevsky's legacy endures across disciplines-literature, theology, psychology, and philosophy. He is a central influence on existentialists, psychoanalysts, and generations of readers seeking to understand the human soul.
