Юшка by Andrei Platonov
An elderly, gentle itinerant in a provincial village is mocked, bullied and used by its inhabitants while he quietly performs small services and offers kindness; he bears humiliation and loneliness with patient meekness, and only after his death do the villagers confront the depth of his suffering and the quiet humanity they ignored, feeling remorse and shame for their cruelty.
