A collection of short stories, this is one of the best works ever written by Lermontov. The writer recounts the occurrence of certain incidents in the life of protagonist, Pechorin. The character of the protagonist is an amalgamation of different people from real life and seems capable of the vilest acts. Truly depicting the degenerating morality of current times, this is a thrilling work.

From the Publisher:
"A Hero of Our Time is a book comprising five stories –'Bela,' 'Maxim Maximych,' 'Taman,' 'Princess Mary,' and 'The Fatalist'– linked by a single subject. In it Lermontov describes Pechorin, the hero of the day, of a terrible era, a wasted, cruel, and useless man, who passes indifferently by majestic landscapes and plain but wonderful people with pure hearts. In his five stories he reveals perfect art, which is real, wise, masterly in style and delightful."

— Alexei Tolstoy

From the Back Cover:
In its adventurous happenings--its abductions, duels, and sexual intrigues-- 'A Hero Of Our Time' looks backward to the tales of Sir Walter Scott and Lord Byron, so beloved by Russian society in the 1820s and 30s.
