Este ebook presenta "El jugador (texto completo, con índice activo)" con un sumario dinámico y detallado. El jugador es una novela de Fiódor Dostoyevski escrita en 1866 y publicada en 1867. La historia se desarrolla en una ciudad mitica llamada Ruletenburg, y su protagonista es un joven atrapado por el vicio del juego, igual que la mayoria de los personajes: todos estan alli con el unico objeto de apostar a la ruleta y hacerse ricos. Esta novela es esencialmente autobiografica. Dostoievski fue victima de la adiccion al juego, y tuvo que terminar esta novela bajo presion y con una fecha fija porque con sus honorarios debia pagar una deuda de juego. Un aspecto admirable del autor es su objetividad respecto a su propia adiccion: en la novela el toma partido en contra del juego y lo hace aparecer como lo que es, un peligrosisimo vicio, vale decir que toma partido a favor de la verdad y en contra de si mismo. Fiodor Mijailovich Dostoyevski ( 1821 - 1881) es uno de los principales escritores de la Rusia Zarista, cuya literatura explora la psicologia humana en el complejo contexto politico, social y espiritual de la sociedad rusa del siglo XIX. Es considerado como uno de los mas grandes escritores de occidente y de la literatura universal. Su obra, aunque escrita en el siglo XIX, refleja tambien al hombre y la sociedad contemporanea.

Floor Games is a delightful book by H.G. Wells about the fun children can have with some simple toys and a lot of imagination. The authors humorous tone in this book makes it an entertaining read for parents, but Wells also provides deeply personal anecdotes about playing with his children. Wells celebrated creativity is clear to see as the games he describes are about inventing worlds out of ones imagination, constructing cities and empires from a few wooden blocks. Floor Games is an influential book that is used by psychotherapists to assist childrens development by learning through play. A perfect read for parents who are weary of the internet age and anyone who wishes to reminisce about their childhood.-

Despite being a pacifist, Wells masterfully explains and gathers all the prerequisites for waging a war... with toy soldiers. Little Wars can be said to be the original instruction manual for how to run a tabletop battle. Satire and pacifist views blend in this narrative that expresses Wells idea that wars should be waged on the dining room floor rather than among the corpse-ridden trenches of Europe. The books influence on modern warfare manuals and board games is indisputable, as tabletop conflicts are conducted to this day. Wells portrays the harrowing nature of war, but his humour ensures the book remains an entertaining read. The whimsical writing and stunning sketches create a book that should be read by all fans of tabletop war games.-
