Dostoyevsky's The Gambler marks a first read into the delightful cultural exchange that captures the human condition. It is a relatively short story, in comparison to his more significant works, but nonetheless features a rather hilarious and pitiful scenario of gambling addicts beset by the nature of dice rolls and roulettes. With that in mind, The Gambler does a nice job in doling out an adventure for the character of Alexei Ivanovich, as Dostoyevsky develops him into a person whose own vices ultimately define his triumphs and failures.
It's rather funny in the way that he outlines his characters: by nationality, of which their tendency for greed is defined. It's really something to behold, as the story takes these turns and developments that feel partly engaged and partly detached. It's a fine undertaking, considering the circumstances in which Dostoyevsky wrote all of this in.
