Texts on "loss of innocence"

[David J. Galloway]

Dear SEELANGERs,

I'm in the midst of planning a fall Russian course in translation which will
equally mix film and text, and could use some suggestions for texts.  Most
of the films fit around the theme of childhood to adulthood and examine
children or adolescents as characters (e.g. "Chuchelo," "Ivanovo detstvo").
However, I am in real need of some short texts, ideally 20th century, which
deal with similar themes or can be conveniently read from the context of the
child.  Regretfully, they must also exist in English translation for this
class.  Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks very much!
