Published in 1866, The Gambler offers a gripping psychological portrait of obsession. Resigned to living abroad, Alexei Ivanovich becomes consumed by roulette. His relentless pursuit of high stakes convinces him he is no ordinary gambler, however, as he seeks meaning and glory in his addiction. His obsession intensifies with his unrequited love for the mysterious Polina, whose indifference only deepens his reckless desires. The Gambler remains one of the most compelling and influential depictions of the gambler ever written, with dozens of adaptations into cinema and theater since its publication. This edition presents the original Russian text side-by-side with a new, updated, and annotated edition based on Constance Garnett's translation.
