The Gambler is the tale of a man named Alexei with a passion for --
no, an addiction to -- roulette. In Dostoevsky's own words, ...all
his vital sap, all his energies, his impetuosity and boldness will
be absorbed by roulette. He is a gambler, but not just an ordinary
gambler ...My hero is, in his way, a poet, but he feels
ashamed...and he feels its ugliness the ugliness of his addiction]
deeply. It's an oddly sympathetic tale, and Dostoevsky was well
suited to telling it: The heroine of The Gambler is based on the
fiery Apollinaria Suslov -- Dostoevsky's own mistress.
