About this audiobook
When you are winning gambling seems very easy. You place a bet and receive your winnings. The thrill is a joyous electric shock of joy and applause. And winnings.
If you lose, well, at first you know your luck will turn. It must, you’re a winner. But if your luck fails, and keeps failing, misery endures and then envelops your life. Everything is centered on that next roll of the dice, the turn of the card …. Nothing else matters. You are addicted.

Author
Alexander Pushkin
Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837) is considered Russia’s greatest poet and, by many, the greatest Russian writer. The father of Russian literature, he first achieved fame for his long narrative poems similar to Lord Byron’s. In the late 1820s, Pushkin turned to prose and produced a series of outstanding works, influencing all Russian writers who followed.
