Three short stories from the great Russian writer, including the title story, in which a thieving vagrant takes on a young, unwilling apprentice; "Twenty-six Men and A Girl," widely regarded as Gorky's best short story, which describes how a wretched crew of bakery workers destroy their only source of joy; and the ill-fated romance, "Makar Chudra."

This is a fabulous short story that brilliantly depicts how a young naive person can be swept into a life of crime. The conflicting emotions between fear, greed, morals and need in a time of great poverty are so well portrayed in the young character. The sadness, compassion, anger, need, pride, and indifference of the elder criminal character are flawlessly portrayed. Though this story was written in the late 1890s, the message can easily be transferred into modern times. If you have ever wondered how decent young people in poverty can be driven into a life of crime you must read this book. It's one of the best depictions of the subject that I have ever read.
