The Gambler and Bobok - Couverture souple

Dostoyevsky wrote intensely psychological and spiritual novels that formed part of the foundation of existentialism. Along with other liberal intellectuals, he was arrested in 1849 and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted, and he was exiled in Siberia for four years, followed by five years of mandatory service in the army. When he emerged from his long ordeal he faced financial problems, depression, and an addiction to gambling and wrote his most important novels.

This book contains two of Dostoyevsky's most memorable works, ''The Gambler'' and ''Bobok''. They both offer an in-depth portrayal of the criminal world. The first story is about an obsessive gambler while the second one deals with several chilling aspects of the underworld. With their fast-paced plots and unforeseen twists, these tales will keep you spell-bound till the very end.
