From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

The Gambler is Dostoevsky's most under-rated work.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Poor Folk and the Gambler (Everyman's Library) (Hardcover)
Dostoevsky's "The Gambler" is a profound look at gambling
as an addiction. The characterization is extremely good,
and the topic is very timely, considering the explosion in
the number of gambling establishments in the United States
in recent years. This should be on the reading list for all
pychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and others who
have an interest in addictive behavior, and for anyone who
lives with a compulsive gambler. Reading this book helped
me to understand and kick my own addiction to gambling.
