"When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me."
- W. Somerset Maugham
(1874 - 1965),
'Of Human Bondage',
1915

| |  | | | From The Publisher
The first major prose novel in Russian literature and chief source of the Russian tradition in 19th century literature, A Hero of Our Time (1840) was to have a profound influence on later Russian writers. Its use of a non-chronological and multifaceted narrative structure influenced such later Russian authors as Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Leo Tolstoy and presaged the antiheroes and antinovels of 20th-century fiction.
| | | | Annotation
In five linked episodes, Lermontov builds up the portrait of a man caught up in and expressing the sickness of his times. A marvelous novel and an early landmark in Russian literature, A Hero of Our Time served as an inspiration for many later Russian authors, including Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.

Lermontov's greatest prose work is a masterful examination of the superfluous man of the 1830s: Byronic, alienated, egotistical and self-absorbed
