Description 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-ce.
