Description
THE DOUBLE: The discovery of a mysterious doppelganger turns Goliadkin's life upside down in "The Double," while the psychological novel "The Gambler" describes two obsessions--the pursuit of an unattainable woman and the lure of roulette.
Description
THE GAMBLER: Doestoevsky's autobiographical novel combines aspects of two obsessions: the love of a rejecting woman and the fever of gambling. At the casino in Roulettenburg, Germany, a Russian family awaits news that a wealthy relative has died. To their dismay, Granny (far from dead), arrives and begins gambling away their inheiritance at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, Alexey Ivanovich, a notorious gambler, longs for a member of the family, but fate seems determined to keep them apart. As fortunes are squandered and gained, lives are increasingly tied to the fickle rules of chance.
