Texts on "loss of innocence"

[Otto Boele]

How about some of Sologub's short stories? Or Leonid Andreev's "In the
fog"? These must have been translated into English some time. Finally, I
would suggest Pasternak's "Detstvo Ljuvers," though that is a complicated
text and maybe not entirely appropriate for the course you're planning.

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!
