A brilliant new translation of a perennial favorite of Russian
Literature
The first major Russian novel, A Hero of Our Time was both lauded
and reviled upon publication. Its dissipated hero,
twenty-five-year-old Pechorin, is a beautiful and magnetic but
nihilistic young army officer, bored by life and indifferent to his
many sexual conquests. Chronicling his unforgettable adventures in
the Caucasus involving brigands, smugglers, soldiers, rivals, and
lovers, this classic tale of alienation influenced Tolstoy,
Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov in Lermontov's own century, and finds its
modern-day counterparts in Anthony Burgess's A Clockwork Orange,
the novels of Chuck Palahniuk, and the films and plays of Neil
LaBute.
