Description
The story “The Republic of ShKID,” written by Leonid Panteleev in 1926 together with his friend and classmate Grigory Belykh, brought overwhelming popularity to young authors.
The authors of this book are former homeless delinquents—people whose fate was to become drifters, thieves, and street raiders. Only chance prevented each of them from sinking to the very bottom of life.
The boys wrote the book when they were seventeen—nineteen years old. They told about their lives, about the kind of unruly teenagers just like themselves, about friends—companions maimed by life. Behind each of those teenagers with gangster nicknames lies their own rich biography of adventures, in which there is room for both prison, distribution points, and raids on dens.
Each member of that motley gang of ShKID boys has a special character—honed in desperate struggle to survive.
And how unwilling they are to give up their habits!
This book is about homeless teenagers. It tells how little thugs and pickpocket thieves became restless residents of a semi-penal school regime, named by the mysterious letters ShKID. The book is about how boys, broken by fate, slowly turned into normal people—their actions determined not by thieves’ laws, but by ideas of honor, conscience, and friendship. And the book, where everything is true, turned out to be—though harsh—still funny and witty.
