"It's high time an up-to-date and idiomatic version of A Hero of Our Time was made available to American readers. If you have a personal all-time bestseller list, make room for A Hero of our Time. Marian Schwarz's compelling translation shows us why." -- Peter Constantine . That is Pechorin, and also Lermontov. Marion Schwartz's translation of Lermontov's classic adventure novel captures all the suppleness and wit of Lermontov's prose, the fine texture of his descriptions and the galloping rhythm of his narrative passages. “-- Alan Furst"In Russia Mikhail Lermontov is considered one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century.

Move Over Onegin: Enter Pechorin A Hero of Our Time introduces a most memorable character, Pechorin, who, had the novella been named after him, would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Eugen Onegin in fame. He derives from the same tradition as Onegin, that of the 'superfluous' man, though he moves beyond his predecessor (and prefigures others) in the degree to which he reeks havoc on a personal level. The novella consists of stories only nominally connected, and i. "Timeless Russian literature, high adventure, and wry wit! (details)" according to Patrick W. Crabtree. There is quite a lot to say about this marvelous book (the tale) and about the nicely-bound "Everyman's Library" hardcover edition in particular, noting just a few caveats. If my review seems overly wordy it's only on account of my personal enthusiasm for the work. Here are my thoughts about both the story and the edition, (including the translation by Vladimir and Dmitri Nabokov), in that order.The account is a fairly simple one. Richard Knight said Three Stars. Good story but badly translated. Lots of mistakes and misspellings.
This new edition is the only one to include Pushkin's Journey to Arzrum, in which Pushkin describes his own experiences of Russia's military campaigns in the Caucasus, offering a fascinating counterpoint to Lermontov's novel.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Lermontov's hero, Pechorin, is a young army officer posted to the Caucasus, where his adventures--amorous and reckless--do nothing to alleviate his boredom and cynicism. World-weary and self-destructive, Pechorin is yet is full of passion and romantic ardor, sensitive as well as arrogant. "After all that - how, you might wonder, could one not become a fatalist?"Here is a fine new translation of the first great Russian novel, A Hero of Our Time, which brings tales of Romantic adventure to a new pitch
