Sobre IBD

An edition from the 'Golden Tattoo' series. Printed in 12pt type with wide line spacing for maximum readability. Unabridged. Modern translation.The plot unfolds in the German spa town of Roulettenburg and centers on Alexei Ivanovich, a young tutor in the family of a bankrupt general. Alexei is passionately in love with the general’s stepdaughter, Polina, who treats him with disdain and involves him in her financial intrigues. The tension escalates with the arrival of the wealthy 'Grandmother,' Antonida Vasilyevna, whose inheritance the general and his circle were so desperately counting on. Instead of leaving her fortune to her relatives, the energetic old woman falls victim to the gambling urge herself and, in just a few days, loses nearly her entire vast estate at the roulette table.Her financial ruin strips the family of its last hope, and Alexei, wishing to save Polina from her debts, heads to the casino himself. He suddenly wins a vast sum, but this victory does not bring happiness: his passion turns into a destructive mania. In the finale, despite glimmers of hope, the protagonist remains under the sway of roulette, continuing to believe that tomorrow one lucky win will solve all his problems.
