Dvě povídky z carského Ruska. První líčí život "špatných" lidí, kteří se živí krádeží a žebrotou. Malý hrdina - hoch z "dobré rodiny" pocítí však k těmto lidem sympatii, poněvadž pozná, že mají daleko více solidarity i smyslu pro přátelství než ti t. zv. "dobří" lidé. - Druhápovídka - Daremné město - je obrazem sibiřského Glazova, kde si Korolenko odbýval svou trestaneckou lhůtu.
