This short novel portrays the pessimism of the author, Fi???dor Dostoyevski, who often drew from his own pain as his source of literary inspiration. This masterful and brilliant narrative throws a penetrating look on Russian character when faced with failure. Novela corta que ofrece una l???cida y dolorida reflexi???n sobre el car???cter ruso. Alexei, el protagonista, es el preceptor de la familia del general Zargoryansky. Est??? enamorado de su hijastra Polina, pero no se atreve a confesarlo. La cat???strofe se produce cuando la t???a del general pierde su fortuna en el casino y Zargoryansky ve alejarse sus esperanzas de heredar, quedando sumido en la desesperaci???n. Alexei juega compulsivamente a la ruleta y gana una fortuna, que luego pierde. Es muy conocido que el escritor ruso sent???a una irrefrenable pasi???n por el juego, que le condujo a contraer elevadas deudas y le oblig??? a abandonar su pa???s, por miedo a la c???rcel. El jugador tiene un trasunto biogr???fico tanto por esta afici???n como por el amor frustrado del general por Blanche de Cominges, que describe tal vez los sentimientos frustrados del autor por su ex amante, Apolinaria Suslova. Pero tambi???n esta magistral y brillante narraci???n arroja una penetrante mirada sobre las interioridades del car???cter ruso. Los personajes son profundamente fatalistas y piensan en un golpe de fortuna para salvar sus vidas, aunque luego las cosas se tuercen y pierden sus esperanzas de ver realizados sus sue???os. Ante el fracaso, se sumen en una indiferente aceptaci???n del destino, que aceptan como una liberaci???n. Las clases sociales son inamovibles, el car???cter personal no se puede cambiar, los individuos est???n determinados por los acontecimientos, el azar juega un papel esencial en la vida humana. Estas son las convicciones del pesimista que era Dostoievski, que saca de su propio dolor la fuente de su inspiraci???n literaria.
