The Gambler (Aziloth Books)

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of addiction and compulsion, the novel features Alexei, who grapples with his uncontrollable impulses not only in gambling but across his life. As he navigates the chaos of his existence, he gradually gains insight into the underlying causes of his behavior. The narrative serves as both a reflection of Dostoyevsky's own struggles with gambling and a broader analysis of the social dynamics surrounding compulsive behavior. Written in a bid to settle his debts, the work offers a profound look at the human condition.
