Notes from the Underground (1864) is one of the most profound works of
nineteenth-century literature. A probing, speculative book, often
regarded as a forerunner of the Existentialist movement, it examines
the important political and philosophical questions that were current
in Russia and Europe at the time. The Gambler (1866), set in the
fictional town of Roulettenberg, explores the compulsive nature of
gambling, one of the author's own vices and a subject he describes
with extraordinary acumen and drama. Specially commissioned for the
World's Classics, this new translation includes a full editorial
apparatus. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around
the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other
valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
