This might be fun.

Dschingis Aitmatov- The White Ship/The Steam Ship

I read it in german, so I can't tell which the better translation would be. Anyway, it's probably one of the saddest books I've ever read, and it's rather short, so you actually might go through with it. I suggest you do dear anon, because it's a great book.

I second this, great book. Curious to see that someone read it.

For the one above me, another one by the same author:
Aitmatov: The Day lasts more than a hundred years.
