"The Bet"
by Anton Chekhov

Introduction

The Russian writer Anton Chekhov is most famous for his plays, but he also wrote many short stories which are considered classics. "The Bet" is short even as short stories go, but it recounts 15 years of two men's lives. To say more might spoil the plot.

Edition I Use: "The Bet" is available on this site here in a printable version.
