A man in love. A man in debt. A man who can't stop chasing the one thing that keeps destroying him.
When tutor Alexei Ivanovich becomes entangled with a wealthy family obsessed with money and status, he is drawn into a whirlwind of passion, humiliation, and the intoxicating thrill of the roulette table. As debts grow and emotions spiral, Alexei's desire -- for love, for luck, for power -- pushes him toward choices that threaten to consume him entirely.

Praised as "a fiercely honest portrait of addiction and desire," this novel carries the raw energy of Dostoevsky's own struggles. It captures the fever of gambling, the chaos of unrequited love, and the psychological unraveling of a man trapped by his impulses.

If you crave intense emotional conflict, sharp social insight, and a story that races with tension, this classic will keep you turning pages.
