Overview

Una novela pionera sobre la ludopatía y sus trágicas consecuencias para el individuo y la sociedad, basada en las experiencias del propio Dostoievski

Publicada por primera vez en 1866, El jugador es una de las novelas sobre la ludopatía más famosas de la literatura. La historia se centra en Alexei Ivanovitch, un joven que trabaja como tutor en el seno de una familia rusa afincada en un hotel alemán. La familia tiene problemas económicos, y Alexei se vuelve adicto a la ruleta en parte para emular la intrépida actitud de sus empleadores hacia el dinero. Así, gana y pierde enormes sumas mientras busca el amor, la riqueza y la aceptación. Sin embargo, sus relaciones humanas son fugaces y superficiales, y acaban siendo sacrificadas en el altar de la adicción.

La historia ofrece un retrato implacable sobre las trágicas consecuencias del juego, algo que Fiódor Dostoievski no solo conocía de primera mano, sino que se vincula estrechamente con la génesis de esta obra, escrita en una carrera contrarreloj para conseguir dinero con que saldar sus propias deudas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A pioneering novel about gambling addiction and its tragic consequences for individuals and society, based on Dostoevsky’s own experiences.

First released in 1866, The Gambler is one of the most famous novels about gambling ever published. The young protagonist, Alexei Ivanovitch, works as a tutor for a formerly wealthy Russian family in Germany. Seeing his employers’ careless attitude toward money, he starts gambling and becomes addicted to roulette. Alexei wins and loses staggering amounts of money while searching for love, wealth and acceptance. His human relationships are fleeting and superficial and are ultimately sacrificed on the altar of addiction.

Dostoevsky paints a devastating picture of the tragic consequences of gambling, a problem he was familiar with firsthand. In fact, he wrote the novel in a race against the clock to earn enough money to pay off his own debts.
