More about the book

This edition features two significant works by Mikhail Lermontov, showcasing his exploration of the Caucasus. "The Demon," a narrative poem, delves into themes of love, freedom, and the struggle against fate. In contrast, "A Hero of Our Time," a novel, presents a complex protagonist whose adventures reflect the moral ambiguities of the time. Both texts are presented in their original Russian alongside a new English translation, allowing readers to appreciate Lermontov's literary artistry in both languages.
