Mr. Prohartchin by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A timid, self-effacing civil servant cultivates an image of poverty and meekness, scrimping and humiliating himself while denying comforts to those around him; after his sudden death, a hidden hoard of money is discovered that reveals the depths of his secret miserly obsession and forces the office and community to confront themes of hypocrisy, self-deception, and the corrosive effects of fear and shame.
