More about the book
The novel features Pechorin, a complex anti-hero whose story unfolds in five non-chronological parts, reflecting Lermontov's military experiences. Pechorin embodies traits of intelligence, manipulation, and emotional detachment, challenging the idealized protagonists of the Romantic era. This work marks a significant shift towards realism, influencing later Russian authors. Lermontov presents a broader critique of societal vices through Pechorin, suggesting that such a character, while flawed, is a reflection of his generation. This edition includes an introduction by George Reavey.
