Автор: Lermontov Mikhail Название: A Hero of Our Time ISBN: 0486451291 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780486451299 Издательство: Dover Рейтинг: Цена: 7410.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: Of lasting appeal to readers of all countries and centuries. -- Vladimir Nabokov Russian literature's first major prose novel, this gripping work was a primary influence on Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and other great nineteenth-century writers. Mikhail Lermontov, the poet of the Caucasus, drew upon his personal Byronic exploits to create these tales of treachery, abductions, and sexual intrigue. Published in 1840, one year before the author's death at age twenty-six in a duel, the novel retains its overwhelming power and fascination. Centered on the escapades of Pechorin, a dashing young officer and the hero of the title, the book consists of a series of interconnected short stories. The picaresque adventures revolve around Pechorin's escapades and reflect his cynical but passionate worldview. Set amid the rugged Caucasian wilderness -- an exotic land populated by bandits and smugglers, transplanted society women, and lawless freebooters -- it offers a thrilling blend of brutality, elegance, and enduring romance.
