About this listen

Explore one of literature’s most enduring short stories in The Lady, or the Tiger? by Frank R. Stockton. Set in a semi-barbaric kingdom, this suspenseful tale follows a young man forced to choose between two doors—one hiding a beautiful maiden, the other a deadly tiger.

With a king’s justice system based on chance and a princess torn between love and jealousy, Stockton delivers a gripping narrative that ends with one of the most famous cliffhangers in literary history.

A classic of psychological fiction and moral dilemma, this story continues to provoke thought and debate over a century later.
