Relation In Favor Of Books Two Captains

Two Captains is the most renowned novel of the Russian writer Veniamin Kaverin. The plot spans from 1912 to 1944. For more than half a century the book has been loved by children and adults alike. The novel has undergone more than 100 printings, including translations into other languages. Based on its story, plays have been staged and an opera has been written. The plot of the book also became the basis of two movies of the same title in 1955 and 1976. In 1995 in Pskov, the home town of the author, a monument was erected to the characters of the book and a "Two Captains" museum was opened.The real prototype for Captain Tatarinov was Lieutenant Georgii Brusilov, who in 1912 organized a privately funded expedition seeking a west-to-east Northern sea route. The steamship "St. Anna," specially built for the expedition, left Petersburg on 28 July 1912. Near the shores of Yamal peninsula it was seized by ice and carried in the ice drift to the north of the Kara Sea. The expedition survived two hard winters. Of the 14 people who left the stranded steamship in 1914, only two made it to one of the islands of Frants-Joseph Land and were spotted and taken aboard "St. Foka," the ship of the expedition of G. Y. Sedov. The ship log they had kept with them contained the most important of the scientific data, after the study of which Sedov's expedition found the previously unknown island in the Kara Sea, Vize Island. The ultimate fate of "St.Anna" and its remaining crew is still unknown. Veniamin Kaverin (1902-1989) wrote novels, short stories, fairy tales, memoirs, and biographies. In the early 1920s, Veniamin Kaverin was a member of experimental literary group "Serapionovi bratya." In 1946 his novelTwo Captains became the winner of the USSR State Literature Award.

Critique About Books Two Captains

The book is perfect for what it is - a feelgood adventure story. I enjoyed reading it and I was curious of what will happen next at all times. This isn't to say the book lacks depth though - on the contrary, the characters are very well built, very real, their relationship are well explored and relatable. The different stages of their lives and the changing environments are described amazingly, including the effect these changes have on the inner worlds of the characters. In the whole book one

Bright book, that is all I could add...

Если бы эта книга попалась мне полжизни назад, то быть бы мне если не полярником, так географом или ещё каким исследователем. Это роман для подростков такой, каким он должен быть. Невозможно оторваться, переживая с героями всю их жизнь: детство в провинциальном городке, выживание в Москве, школьные истории, студенчество, любовь, война. Невероятная концентрация событий в настоящем времени романа дополняется таинственной историей пропавшей в Арктике экспедиции капитана Татаринова. И все сюжетные

Лучший роман, из прочитанных мной) Понравилось, насколько здорово прописаны герои, особенно негативные, такие как Ромашов и Николай Антонович. Очень правдиво изложены мотивы поступков и переживания каждого персонажа. Особенно впечатлило, как автор последовательно развивает историю жизни Григорьева, будто он сам был этим маленьким мальчиком, который впоследствии стал лётчиком-капитаном. Ярко прорисован период войны и то, как он изменил жизнь обычных людей. Никогда раньше меня так не впечатляли

One of the few books I genuinely enjoyed as part of required reading in school. It's still just as good, if not better, after all these years. A sweeping tale of one boy's obsession of finding the long lost Captain whose life story became curiously intertwined with his own. The story takes the reader from rural pre-Revolutionary Russia, to arctic North, to the tragedies of WWII. It is a great epic adventure and a sweet love story, all wrapped into one. Amazing novel.



Here comes a Russian... Soviet... classic that I have read some light years ago. It has an interesting plot that unravels nicely. The book is very realistically written and that makes it an easy read. It is a story of courage, passion and betrayal that perfectly fits its own motto: "To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield".It is one of the highly appraised books of those times and received a big award from the government. Which means that it has served its government well. Although the
