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 main character, Rosa Ahmetovna, is an extremely self-centered, intrusive, tactless, sly and cunning narrator in this family saga by the author of the acclaimed novel "Scherbenpark" Alina Bronsky.
Using her extraordinary psychic gift to find victims, she is aware that her own powers will inevitably lead to her downfall.
The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
