A young tutor in a German spa town watches a Russian general's family wait for an inheritance and is drawn into the roulette rooms by his love for the general's stepdaughter. Dostoevsky, who dictated it in a month to meet a contract, drew on his own addiction. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
