Novel by Mikhail Lermontov, published in Russian in 1840 as Geroy
nashego vremeni. Its psychologically probing portrait of a
disillusioned 19th-century aristocrat and its use of a
nonchronological 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.
The novel is set in the Russian Caucasus in the 1830s. Grigory
Pechorin is a bored, self-centered, and cynical young army officer
who believes in nothing. With impunity he toys with the love of
women and the goodwill of men. He is brave, determined, and
willful, but his energies and potential are wasted, and he dies in
a duel. -The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature - This text
refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
