Summary
The Gambler is the short novel by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Dostoevsky tells the story of a young tutor named Alexey Ivanovitch, who works in the household of an imperious Russian general. He wants to break through the wall of the established order in Russia. To reach this goal, he tries to achieve money and power by gambling. He descends further and further into a life of roulettes and casino living and sinks himself in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. As he fails to resist the temptations of his addiction (the gambling), he finds himself engaged in unrequited love with Polina, the General's cruel yet seductive niece.
This version of the book is translated by Soroosh Habibi into Persian (Farsi) and Narrated by Babak Ghahremani. The Persian version of The Gambler's audiobook is published by Maktub worldwide.
