Notes from the Underground: WITH The Gambler Oxford World´s Classics
Notes from the Underground (1864) is one of the most profound works of nineteenth-century literature. The Gambler (1866), set in the fictional town of Roulettenberg, explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of the author's own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. A probing, speculative book, often regarded as a forerunner of the Existentialist movement, it examines the important political and philosophical questions that were current in Russia and Europe at the time.
