The story revolves around the character Alexander Ivanovitsh Konovalov, who is revealed to have tragically taken his own life in a prison cell. The narrative explores the complexities of Konovalov's life, the roots of his melancholy, and his relationships, particularly through the perspective of a narrator who reminisces about their time together. At the start of the novel, the narrator stumbles upon a news article detailing Konovalov's sad fate, prompting him to reflect on their past encounters. He recounts first meeting Konovalov when he was an apprentice baker at a leavening factory, portraying Konovalov as a giant of a man with a complex personality, capable of both kindness and deep sorrow. Interactions with coworkers, the struggles of the working class, and Konovalov's own tragic backstory unfold, highlighting his dreams, disappointments, and the harsh realities of life he faces, all of which contribute to his eventual despair. The emotional weight of the characters and their stories suggests themes of suffering, human connection, and the search for meaning in a harsh world.
