The Gambler (Russian: Игрокъ, romanized: Igrok; modern spelling Игрок) is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky about a young tutor in the employment of a formerly wealthy Russian general. The novella reflects Dostoevsky's own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the inspiration for the book: Dostoevsky completed the novella in 1866 under a strict deadline to pay off gambling debts.

Heureusement que je suis pas addict

Sympa, j'aime toujours le style cynique/aigris/hautain de doistoievski, après c'est assez lent c'est pas le roman du siecle mais je regrette pas. Bonne représentation (je penses) du côté diabolique des casinos
