"Between Two Thieves" by Richard Dehan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Hector Dunoisse, a remarkable yet paralyzed old man reflecting on his past as he watches life unfold in the village of Zeiden, situated in the Canton of Alpenzell. The narrative hints at themes of war, humanitarianism, and the frailty of human existence, as Dunoisse grapples with memories of his vibrant life and the burdens of his current state. The opening of the novel presents a vivid depiction of Dunoisse's surroundings as he sits in his invalid chair, going from the beauty of the sunset to observing a modern monoplane take flight. His conversation with a Sister of Charity reveals his thoughts on the potential of aerial transport for medical purposes during warfare, showcasing his idealism amidst suffering. Dunoisse's past is hinted at through the eyes of an English couple who notice his saintly presence and the husband recounts the complexities of his lineage and notable life experiences. As Dunoisse contemplates his life, the contrast between his once-great contributions to humanitarian efforts and his current helpless state becomes evident, setting the stage for deeper explorations of his character and the significance of his memories as the story progresses.
