The-Bet-&-The-House-with-the-Mezzanine_CROP

The Bet & The House with the Mezzanine

 

A pair of Chekhov’s most uncomfortable short stories: the first is a highly pertinent concept-led tale and the second is a more naturalistic dilemma, set in a house that is both an oasis of culture and a metaphor for the closely corralled world of the Russian bourgeoisie.
