The Beggar by Andreas Karkavitsas

This narrative delves into the life of a beggar who, despite his apparent destitution and the simplicity of his existence, reveals the complexities and depth of human nature and society. Through his interactions and the stories he shares, the protagonist offers a window into the lives of various individuals he encounters, reflecting on themes of poverty, dignity, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of Greece, the story not only paints a vivid picture of the country's landscape and social milieu but also critiques the social inequalities and moral dilemmas of the time. The beggar, with his keen observations and experiences, serves as a conduit for exploring broader societal issues, making the narrative a poignant and insightful examination of life at the margins.
