Hero of Our Time Kindle Edition

Novel by Mikhail Lermontov, published in Russian in 1840 as Geroy nashego vremeni. Its psychologically probing portrait of a disillusioned 19th-century aristocrat and its use of a nonchronological 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. The novel is set in the Russian Caucasus in the 1830s. Grigory Pechorin is a bored, self-centered, and cynical young army officer who believes in nothing. With impunity he toys with the love of women and the goodwill of men. He is brave, determined, and willful, but his energies and potential are wasted, and he dies in a duel.

This novella I really enjoyed because of its romance, grudges & trickery. A good book to read on a cold night with a hot toddy.

This version of the book is missing several sections of the story to include "Taman" and "The Fatalist". There is also no page numbers or table of contents for the book. The story is great, but if you want the whole story get a different version

This edition is missing three large and essential sections - Maxim Maximych, Taman, and Fatalist. There are also no page numbers, and the font is tiny. Very unhappy. Doesn't do justice to a masterpiece!
