内容简介 在线阅读本书

The first example of the psychological novel in Russia, A Hero of Our Time influenced Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov, and other great nineteenth-century masters that followed. Its hero, Pechorin, is Byronic in his wasted gifts, his cynicism, and his desire for any kind of action-good or ill-that will stave off boredom. Outraging many critics when it was first published in 1840, A Hero of Our Time follows Pechorin as he embarks on an exciting adventure involving brigands, smugglers, soldiers, rivals, and lovers.

This edition includes a new introduction, chronology, suggestions for further reading, maps, and full explanatory notes.
作者简介 Mikhail Yur'evich Lermontov (1814-1841) was, after Pushkin, Russia's leading romantic poet. In 1837, upon Pushkin's death, he was arrested for his poem of invective against the Court Circle and sent to the army in the Caucasus. A few years later, he was challenged to a duel by an officer and was killed on the spot.
