The novel "The Gambler" (1866) occupies an exceptional place in Dostoevsky's work. Although the idea for this novel supposedly matured for a full three years, Dostoevsky dictated it almost in his breath, in just twenty-seven days.
The novella was published for the first time in 1961 in the magazine Novij mir and aroused anger among critics, pointing out that it is only "about the narrow, intimate experiences of the heroine".
