The Gambler/Bobok/A Nasty Story (Fyodor Dostoevsky)

Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Gambler/Bobok/A Nasty Story

























Three different angles of Dostoevsky. The Gambler is a long story about addictive gambling with the highs and lows that it brings. Brilliantly written. Bobok is a strange little tale listening in on the dead whilst A Nasty Story is just that. An excellently written piece about good intentions, albeit extremely condescending, gone wrong in spectacular fashion. Three good reads.
