"The Gambler" is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky about a young tutor who
becomes addicted to gambling. Dostoevsky himself was familiar with gambling
and completed the novel in 1866 to pay off his own gambling debts. The story
follows Alexei Ivanovich, a tutor working for a Russian family, as he falls in
love with Polina, the niece of the family's patriarch. Alexei gets caught up
in a series of events involving gambling, love, and financial struggles. The
novel explores themes of addiction, love, and the destructive nature of
gambling. It has been adapted into various films, operas, and TV series.
