About the book
arrow

"The Bet" is a short story written by Anton Chekhov in 1889. It is about two men, a banker and a lawyer, who make a bet about living in solitary confinement. The banker believes that life in prison would be worse than death, while the lawyer claims the opposite. When the lawyer wins the bet after 15 years, the banker is forced to pay a large sum of money. The story is an exploration of the value of life and freedom, and its themes of morality and the consequences of one's decisions.
