Notes From The Underground / The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoevsky

A blistering, confessional monologue by a bitter, alienated narrator who dissect his spite, pride, and perverse resistance to happiness to expose the paradoxes of free will, rationality, and human self-destruction; paired with a tense, fast-paced novella about a young man consumed by gambling at a European resort, where obsession, vanity, and debt unravel social pretenses and adulterate love and honor.
