Lermontov’s only novel, "A Hero of Our Time" examines a weary and cynical man trapped in the futility of his age. Published in the early nineteenth century, it was to prove a hugely influential work for many subsequent Russian writers.Despite his obvious talents and natural abilities, Pechorin is restless and bored. Travelling from the civilised world of society drawing rooms, to the wilds of the Southern Caucasus, he embarks upon a quest for motivation and stimulation. But rather than finding the impetus he so craves, he instead becomes increasingly alienated from those around him. Sickened by the condition of his times, he chooses to reject a life of morality. This study of a man – and a society – in crisis was to become one of the most important books of its time.--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
作者简介
Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov was born in Moscow on October 3, 1814 (according to the old calendar used in Russia until the Revolution). His early poetry was inspired by the beautiful nature of Caucasus, stories heard about the Caucasian War and long trips taken across all of Russia on horse. Among the works that he read in school (in four different languages) were those of Shakespeare, Schiller, Walter Scott, Thomas Moore and George Byron. He became the leading Russian Romantic poet.Lermontov suddenly became widely known for a piece of poetry which he wrote on the occasion of Pushkin's death (1837). A great poet, as well as a lover of liberty and a foe of oppression, was revealed at once in his powerful verses. In a few days all St. Petersburg, and very soon all educated in Russia, knew this verses by heart; they circulated in thousand s of manuscripts copies.The first major prose novel in Russian literature and chief source of the Russian tradition in 19th century literature, "A Hero of Our Time" (1840) was to have a profound influence on later Russian writers. Its use of a non-chronological and multifaceted narrative structure influenced such later Russian authors as Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy and presaged the antiheroes and antinovels of 20th-century fiction.--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
