Release date is 1997-05-01 Produced by Judith Boss, and David Widger "A Hero of Our Time" by Mikhail Iurevich Lermontov is a novel written in 1839 and published in 1840. It introduces Pechorin, a compelling Byronic antihero whose cynicism and self-destructive behavior epitomize the "superfluous man" of Russian literature. Through his conquests and contradictions, Pechorin pursues pleasure while drowning in existential emptiness. His romantic manipulations and arbitrary actions leave devastation in their wake, including tragic consequences for those who love him. Recognized as Russia's first psychological fiction, the novel explores one man's profound alienation against the beautiful backdrop of the Caucasus. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
