Alex and Emma
STORY PREFACE
It was the end of September, 1866, and Fyodor Dostoevsky was in serious trouble. Desperate for money the prior year, he had made a bad bargain with a rogue publisher. In exchange for an advance on an unwritten novel, Dostoevsky had agreed to give Fyodor Stellovsky the rights to all his future works for a period of ten years if he could not deliver the new book by November 1, 1866. The novel - eventually called The Gambler - was due in thirty days. Dostoevsky had yet to write the first word. To cite this story, using MLA Guidelines: Bos, Carole D.
