“I love without hope, and know that hereafter I shall love you a thousand times more.”
And yet another psychologically bewildering work; The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky illustrates the addiction of one self to what our society believes as ruinous; to what our society believes to be disastrous; to what had an aftermath on Dostoevsky’s own life: money gambling.
“Never has the fever of gambling been rendered with such immediacy and truth as in Dostoevsky’s The Gambler.” — Stefan Zweig, author of Beware of Pity.
