false <![CDATA[Der Spieler. 6 CDs + mp3-CD]]> 12857 130 In this dark and compelling short novel, Fyodor Dostoevsky tells the story of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young tutor working in the household of an imperious Russian general. Alexey tries to break through the wall of the established order in Russia, but instead becomes mired in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. His intense and inescapable addiction is accentuated by his affair with the General&#8217;s cruel yet seductive niece, Polina. In <i>The Gambler</i>, Dostoevsky reaches the heights of drama with this stunning psychological portrait. 4356972 book 1973 total:1852|5:481|4:720|3:528|2:99|1:24| 1852 7091 2525 110 3 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Jul 07 14:52:40 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 08 00:13:44 -0800 2009 Alex and Emma, in which Luke Wilson writes a book that plagiarizes this story.
