Hovhannes Tumanyan’s early twentieth-century story follows Gikor, a twelve-year-old village boy sent by his father to work in the city. You will meet domestic and market vocabulary, rural speech, and everyday descriptions of travel, food, clothing, and service. The sentences are mostly short or moderate in length, but colloquial forms and dialect spellings can make them demanding. The story turns on family separation, poverty, work, and the hopes adults place on a child.

Questions about this book
What level of Armenian do I need for this book?
The estimate is B1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The work is in the public domain, and the text comes from Wikisource under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 50 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 19 min at a native pace, spread over 1 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
