The novel, however, raises\u003cbr\u003e issues of imperialism, fate, free will and the limits of self-knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e The\u003cbr\u003e present study draws together the now considerable body of secondary\u003cbr\u003e material on Lermontov's novel, and offers new insights in the light of\u003cbr\u003e the recent critical and theoretical trends on such aspects as\u003cbr\u003e ethnicity, materialism, narrative implications of diary form and the\u003cbr\u003e ludic dimensions of fate. This up-todate, comprehensive study of \u003ci\u003eA Hero of Our Time\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to students at all levels of specialism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672799109393,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781853993145.jpg?v=1781521292","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-hero-of-our-time-by-miu-lermontov","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
