In Anton Chekhov's "The Bet," a wealthy banker bets a young lawyer that solitary confinement is preferable to the death penalty. The lawyer endures years of isolation, challenging his ideals and the bet's true worth. The story explores the consequences of extreme choices and the subjective value of freedom. Read in English, unabridged.
