A Hero of Our Time - Book by Mikhail Lermontov
Mikhail Lermontov’s A Hero of Our Time is a landmark work in Russian literature, presenting a complex portrait of the Byronic hero, Pechorin. The novel is structured as a series of stories told from multiple perspectives, revealing Pechorin’s character through his interactions with others. A disillusioned and cynical young man, Pechorin navigates a world of superficial relationships, emotional isolation, and moral ambiguity. Lermontov critiques the aristocracy, the futility of romantic ideals, and the existential despair of modern life, offering a sharp commentary on the moral decay and spiritual emptiness of 19th-century Russian society.Original Language: Russian
