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 Dostoevsky`s own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. Both works are new translations, specially commissioned for the World`s Classics series.
