Book Description
A Hero of Our Time is a novel by Mikhail Lermontov published in 1840. It tells the story of a young officer, Pechorin, sent to the Caucasus after a duel. This is what the author himself wrote about his idea of Pechorin in the preface: "Pechorin, my dear readers, is in fact a portrait, but not of one man only: he is a composite portrait, made up of all the vices which flourish, full-grown, amongst the present generation. You will tell me, as you have told me before, that no man can be so wicked as this; and my reply will be: "If you believe that such persons as the villains of tragedy and romance could exist in real life, why can you not believe in the reality of Pechorin? If you could admire far more terrifying and repulsive types, why aren't you more merciful to this character, even if it is fictitious? Isn't it because there's more truth in it than you might wish?"This edition includes 22 illustrations by M. Lermontov, M. Vrubel, V. Serov, V. Polyakov and other artists of the late 19th and early 20th century.

ILLUSTRATIONS ANNOTATIONS Biography of Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov About A Hero of Our Time A Hero of Our Time Summary Character List Glossary Themes Quotes and Analysis Summary And Analysis Preface and Bela Maxim Maximych Foreword and Taman Princess Mary The Fatalist Symbols, Allegory and Motifs Metaphors and Similes Irony Imagery Literary Elements Essay Questions Many critics during Mikhail Lermontov's time felt that he created Pechorin, the main character of A Hero of Our Time, in his own likeness. Besides similarities in age and occupation, characters in Pechorin's life resemble individuals in Lermontov's life. Critics believed Werner to be based off of Doctor Maier, who lived in Pyatigorsk, and Vera on Varvara Lopukhina, whose affair with Lermontov ended when she married another man. Lermontov's contemporaries also referenced his poems to support their argument. They connected Pechorin's thoughts to many of the sentiments Lermentov expressed in his poems. Pechorin echoes Lermontov's romantic descriptions of the Caucasus and his criticisms of Russian society. Lermontov disliked the comparisons. In a second edition of his novel, he included a preface to respond to these and other claims. In the preface, he asserts that Pechorin represents a corrupt generation rather than an individual. He also addresses critics who believed the novel to be immoral. He tells them that the novel merely presents the vices he has witnessed in his society and that one should not be offended by truths. A Hero of Our Time is a novel, but can be more aptly described as a Preface, five short stories, and a Foreword placed between the second and third short stories. The five short stories center on Pechorin, a young Russian officer serving in the Caucasus. Below are quick summaries of each of the sections in the novel.
