Nikitin the Seafarer

“The Navigator Nikitin” by Alexander Alexandrovich Bestuzhev-Marlinsky is a wonderful story about the courage of ordinary people and their heroism and fearlessness—courage that can defeat enemies thanks only to an unstoppable thirst for life, cleverness, and intelligence. The story does not fully reflect the inner anxieties and torments of the heroes in all their depth. But that’s exactly why the brightness of love and the strength of life only gain. The story is based on real events that took place in 1810.
