Brave Nazar
Nazar is the laziest, most cowardly man in his village — until one slap kills a thousand flies and he has a banner made to say so. Hovhannes Tumanyan's beloved comic folk tale follows the accidental hero as rumor, luck and pure panic carry him past seven giants, a tiger and a whole enemy army, all the way to a throne. Sixteen short chapters that start at first-week A1 and finish at A2.
