“An Honest Thief” is one of Dostoyevsky’s tales of pity, in which he reveals that compassionate sympathy of the Russian mind for all suffering, the pure and noble conscience awakened in the spirit of a fallen man.

The central relationship—between the poor peasant and the even poorer old alcoholic tramp who he has taken into his home—is beautifully described and characterized, as they go from a reluctant emerging friendship, through frustration and mistrust, to the final and tragic reconciliation.
