Tyema's childhood. Garin-Mikhailovsky N.G.

Without largely the Autobiographical Tale "Childhood of Tyoma" it is impossible to imagine Russian literature at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Little Tyoma Kartashev is a careless, playful, but kind boy. His life is full of leprosy, simple children's joys and the first deep experiences: either he breaks his father’s favorite flower, then accidentally tears the dress with a governess, then saves the dog a bug from the well. Through the funny incidents that Tyoma falls into, and a clash with the “adult” world passed, so this book is so close to many generations of readers.
