The novel is set in the Russian Caucasus in the 1830s. Grigory Pechorin is a bored, self-centered, and cynical young army officer who believes in nothing. With impunity he toys with the love of women and the goodwill of men. He is brave, determined, and willful, but his energies and potential are wasted, and he dies in a duel.

Seller's Description:
No Jacket. New York. 1977. Penguin Books. Reprinted Penguin Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Translated from the Russian & With An Introduction by Paul Foote. paperback. keywords: Penguin Classic Paperback Literature Russia Translated 19th Century. DESCRIPTION-‘People have been fed on sweets too long', wrote Lermontov. ‘Bitter medicines and harsh truths are needed now. ' A HERO OF OUR TIME was published in 1839/40 and ranks as one of the earliest of the great Russian novels. Pechorin, the ‘hero, was offered to the public not as a model hut as a condemnation of the period. Restless, cynical, disillusioned, sometimes cruel, he shares with many nineteenth-century Russian heroes a sense of superfluousness. Nevertheless Pechorin is a Romantic figure and belongs to the world of Byron and Pushkin rather than that of Chekhov. inventory #29134.
