The Gambler - Hardcover

The most read classics meet the reader with careful translations and under the editorship of academics who are experts in their fields.

Aleksey Ivanovich, who has a virtuous and noble soul, finds himself at the roulette table in order to pay the debts of the girl he loves. When he leaves the table, he is now a rich man, but with the awakening of the gambler inside him, nothing is the same again. There is much to lose in the battle with the passion for gambling that grows within him.

The story of The Gambler, which emerged in this atmosphere, takes place in Roulettenburg, a fictional gambling center. Dostoevsky forces readers to confront dark questions of the soul: Is money, love, or honor lost at the gambling table? Or is it life itself?

Dostoyevsky, himself a gambler, realizes that he has not yet started his novel when the deadline is less than a month away. If he fails, he will lose the copyright to his novels. He hires a stenographer named Anna Grigoryevna to help him, and he completes the novel and experiences true love.

We present this immortal work, where readers have the opportunity to touch Dostoyevsky's soul, with Işıl Karasay's meticulous translation.
