A Little Hero by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A sensitive adolescent living in a stifling provincial household becomes hopelessly infatuated with a neighbor girl and constructs elaborate fantasies of heroism and tragic destiny; his sentimental melancholy and small acts of rebellion are met with misunderstanding and gentle ridicule, creating a satirical yet compassionate portrait of youthful romanticism, arrested development, and the pettiness of provincial society.
