A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov
On his travels through the savage mountainous terrain of the Caucasus, the unnamed narrator of "A Hero of Our Time" chances upon the veteran soldier Maxim Maximych, who relates to him the dubious exploits of his former comrade Pechorin. Engaging in various acts of dueling, contraband, abduction and seduction, Pechorin, an archetypal Byronic anti-hero, combines cynicism and arrogance with melancholy and sensitivity.
Mikhail Lermontov (1814-41) was a Russian writer and poet. A member of the Romantic movement, Lermontov's work was hugely influential on later Russian writers, and is still highly popular in his homeland today.
