ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Specially commissioned for the World's Classics, this new translation includes a full editorial apparatus. 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. Notes from the Underground (1864) is one of the most profound works of nineteenth-century literature.
