Notes from the underground and the gambler, paperback/fyodor dostoyevsky

One of the most profound and disturbing works of nineteenth-century literature, Notes from the Underground is a probing and speculative work, often regarded as a forerunner to the Existentialist movement.

The Gambler explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of Dostoevskys own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama.

Both works are new translations, specially commissioned for the Worlds Classics series.
