Books, Manuscripts
'The Gambler' and 'A Nasty Business' are two of Dostoevsky's most spectacular stories - the first a horrifying account of roulette addiction, based on the author's own life, and the second a waking nightmare in which a well-meaning official on a whim attends the wedding of one of his subordinates, a decision that turns out to be a very bad one indeed.
