Description
A Hero of Our Time is a novel by Mikhail Lermontov, written in 1839 and revised in 1841. It is a quintessential example of the superfluous man novel, featuring a compelling Byronic hero and breathtaking descriptions of the Caucasus landscape. Mikhail Lermontov, a Russian Romantic writer, poet, and painter, is widely regarded as the supreme poet of Russian literature, alongside Pushkin. His influence on later Russian literature remains significant, extending beyond his poetry to his prose, which laid the groundwork for the Russian psychological novel. This edition, published in 1992, presents Lermontov's work in its revised form, offering a glimpse into the life and literary legacy of a major figure in Russian Romanticism.
