The Gambler

Regalato a mio figlio di 15 anni, gli è piaciuto

Russian classic.

It is a fantastic book. It is written humorously which makes it enjoyable to read at the same time the analysis of the characters and emotions are spectacular. I definitely recommend this book to anybody to read. I loved it. The literature is beautiful, the language is flawless and it is meaningfully.

The cover looks good, but is made of inferior quality material. The printing is good and readable.

I loved this book. I'm not sure that any book entitled "Gambling Psychology" would include a better profile of the psychopathology that is gambling addiction. The main character's massochism is also a wonderful case study of how such personalities operate and function. The plot is excellent and "granny" is so perfectly described that it's as if the author included a photograph of her. Much of the Russian psyche is on display and the reader will get a glimpse into people and lifestyles that are quite in keeping with what one might find today in our own Roulettenberg, Las Vegas. This was a concise but pleasant ride through human nature.
