An Honest Thief

Честный вор

Retrato de Fiódor Dostoievski, por Vasili Perov
byFyodor Dostoevsky

An old retired soldier tells how he took in the drunkard Emelyan, who stole a pair of breeches from him and denied it until his deathbed, where he confessed in tears. First published as part of the 'Stories of a Much-Experienced Man'. The compassion for the wretch who steals and is ashamed anticipates the outlook of the major novels.
