Mikhail Lermontov

A Lermontov Reader
"Inheritor of Pushkin's poetic mantle, and forerunner of the realism which was to make the Russian novel supreme in the nineteenth century, Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov represents one of the most important figures in the history of Russian prose and poetry. His was a life lived with singular intensity; his Byronic pose of disillusionment could not conceal an acute, often tortured sensibility, a sensibility that produced the scathing irony mirroring this profound social commitment. Killed in a duel before he reached the age of twenty-seven, Lermontov left a body of works whose brilliance and diversity are all the more remarkable for the short span of years during which they were written, and the amazing rate of artistic growth they record. As presented here, they stand as an essential volume for all those interested in Russian literature" --Back cover.
