The novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, including the classic Crime and Punishment, secured the great Russian writer an exalted position in the literary pantheon of 20th-century authors. The Gambler stands as one of the literary genius' most highly regarded shorter works. At the casino in Roulettenburg, Germany, a Russian family awaits word that a wealthy relative from Petersburg has died. But to their dismay, Granny arrives and begins gambling away their inheritance at an alarming rate.

While I do have to admit this work does not hold a candle to the great five, this is on the stronger side of Dostoyevsky's minor works. To see in the slow motion of Dostoyevsky's classic Russian lit style the destruction of a man and a family to gambling is rather distressing. The work does not fail to incite emotion. The style is a bit too slow paced for me, and I found it hard to pay attention with the constant throwing of French in the story. Still, the prose did it's job, though this isn't as beautiful as Crime and Punishment, Demons or the Brothers K. A less daunting step on the path to completing Dostoyevsky's works.
