NOTES

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