Hero of Our Time

Camus begins his Fall as follows: "The Hero of Our Time, dear gentlemen, is exactly a portrait, but it is not a portrait of a single person: it is a portrait of our entire generation, made up of the flaws of all of them in their most mature form. Again, you will tell me that man cannot be so bad, but I also I'll tell you, if you really believe that all those tragic and romantic villains can exist, why don't you also believe in Pechorin's reality?"

Proud, headstrong and incredibly charismatic, Pechorin is bored to death by the world that surrounds him. With a hunger for action, she embarks on a series of adventures: encountering smugglers, bandits, soldiers, lovers and rivals, and leaving a trail of broken hearts in her wake. Lermontov's novel angered many critics when it was published in 1840, but it is now a classic.

"The narrative flows with such speed and force that the reader cannot stop."
-Vladimir Nabokov-

"Exuberant and daring... it retains its power as a psychological treatise."
-Julian Barnes-
