Publisher Description
The Gambler is a short novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky about a young tutor in the employment of a formerly wealthy Russian general. The novella reflects Dostoyevsky's own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the inspiration for the book: Dostoyevsky completed the novella under a strict deadline to pay off gambling debts.

Existential
The book drags a little but the premise appears throughout. There’s no sense in asking “what if?” Because there is no tomorrow to speak of.
