A Hero of Our Time

Russian classic Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov continues the theme of the superfluous man, begun by Pushkin.

The charismatic handsome Grigory Pechorin is disillusioned with life. The glamorous life has corrupted him, and he finds no pleasure in simple human joys. The hero tries to fill his existence with some kind of meaning.
But his attempts harm those around him. His love for the Circassian woman Bela destroys her family. His interference in the life of a quiet stanitsa causes an uproar. His unwillingness to communicate with an old friend inflicts a heavy emotional wound. Everything Pechorin touches ends up broken. He realizes this and suffers even more.

After reading the novel, you will see how the vices of society can destroy a person's personality.

The book also includes the unfinished novel "Princess Ligovskaya," whose characters Lermontov later transferred to "A Hero of Our Time."

A new series of classics for fans of "Magistral. The Main Trend" in hardcover. Impeccable style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored endpapers, illustration on the edge.
