One of the most profound and disturbing works of nineteenth-century literature, <em>Notes from the Underground</em> is a probing and speculative work, often regarded as a forerunner to the Existentialist movement. <em>The Gambler</em> explores the compulsive nature of gambling, one of Dostoevsky's own vices and a subject he describes with extraordinary acumen and drama. Both works are new translations, specially commissioned for the World's Classics series. <p/><strong>About the Series: </strong>For over 100 years <strong>Oxford World's Classics</strong> has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
