Notes from the Underground And, The Gambler

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 'Oxford World's Classics' series.
