An engineer with the Imperial Russian Army, Hermann never gambles with the other officers. But then he overhears the story of a countess who won a fortune using the secret of three magic cards.

But when his deceitful plan takes a tragic turn, the consequences will haunt him to the point of madness.

Over de auteur
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.
