<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Mikhail Lermontov's <i> A Hero of Our Time</i> (1840) is one of the<br>great classics of Russian nineteenth-century literature, is a novel of<br>unique structure, based on a series of short storied held together by a<br>Byronic hero, Pechorin, whose gifted but embittered nature typified the<br>so-called superfluous men of the 1830's. The novel, however, raises<br>issues of imperialism, fate, free will and the limits of self-knowledge.<br>The<br>present study draws together the now considerable body of secondary<br>material on Lermontov's novel, and offers new insights in the light of<br>the recent critical and theoretical trends on such aspects as<br>ethnicity, materialism, narrative implications of diary form and the<br>ludic dimensions of fate. This up-todate, comprehensive study of <i>A Hero of Our Time</i> will appeal to students at all levels of specialism.</p>
