A review by rachelhelps
A Hero Of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov

5.0

Despite being written in 1839, A Hero of Our Time seems quite modern. The events surrounding the hero, Pechorin, unfold non-linearly. While the style of the novel is not particularly striking, its content is. Nabokov points out all the inconsistencies in his footnotes, and his introduction displays his confidence in his abilities. A recommended classic, especially for young people.
