Hi all,
I am looking for the titles and authors of some of the Russian novels I read when I was a boy (80ies). All I remember are a few lines about them below: Can someone help me pleeeease?
1. So the first novel is about a little boy (probably eskimo/Siberian) who goes seal hunting in a canoe for the first time with his father and uncles. They hunt seal, and he eats a seal’s heart… on their way back they get stuck in the fog, and everyone dies from thirst apart from the little boy who comes back home as a man…
2. About the First or second world war: A teacher called Karablov… recruits young men to the war… Karablov is a liar (he has been around and has eaten things like rotten eggs…?) Karablov ends up in the same regiment/section in the army and is a craven?
спаси́бо!
