Childhood Topic. Garin-Mikhailovsky N.G.

“Tyoma’s childhood” is an autobiographical story of a wonderful Russian writer of the late XIX-early XX centuries N. G. Garin-Mikhailovsky about growing man. Tyoma is a general son, but in a large family he is not at all pampering. He is by nature a sensitive and nervous child, sometimes timid, sometimes arrogant. For pranks and unseemly acts, the father strictly punishes him. Mother, on the contrary, is trying to act with affection and a kind word.

This book is a wonderful opportunity from the original source to learn about traditions, domestic ways and principles of raising children adopted in the noble environment. The book carries important moral lessons that are relevant for our days.
