The gambler

About the book Whoever reads Dostoevsky's novel The Gambler notices that it somewhat bears the marks of autobiography, and we do not mean that the writer depicted in the novel scenes from his private life, nor do we mean that some circumstances of this life were reflected in the novel. Dostoevsky was an emotionally passionate person, and roulette gambling was one of his greatest loves and for a long time. He knew the deepest secrets of this game not only technically, but he experienced firsthand the rise and fall of the line, the twists of fate, and the succession of hope and despair. Sometimes he would win large sums, but in the gambling discipline, he would lose them down to the last penny, so as not to have anything left to pay for tea and candles at the hotel.
