具体描述
'A Hero of Our Time' is the masterpiece of Russian Romantic prose that influenced generations of readers and writers. Published in 1840, a year before Lermontov's tragic death in a duel, the novel was a sensation with a generation that identified with the hero, Pechorin, who feels that life has robbed him of the possibility of noble passion. As Nabokov writes in his introduction 'Lermontov managed to create a fictional person whose romantic dash and cynicism, tiger-like suppleness and eagle eye, hot blood and cool head, tenderness and taciturnity, elegance and brutality, delicacy of perception and harsh passion to dominate, ruthlessness and awareness of it, are of lasting appeal to readers of all countries and centuries'. Nabokov's translation, introduction, and notes make this the best edition of the novel available in English.

读后感
莱蒙托夫和自己的偶像普希金一样死于一场决斗之前,在小说《当代英雄》里为主人公毕巧林安排了一场决斗。决斗的前夜,毕巧林辗转难眠,“回顾一生经历,不由得问自己:我为什么活着?我生下来带有什么目的?……目的肯定是有的……可是我猜不透这使命是什么……” 我此刻跟早逝...
我一直觉得,没有任何媒介和理由产生的惺惺相惜最容易感动人。比起那些比较权利,外貌,瞻仰短暂的激情得来的光明的未来的爱情更值得鼓吹。 所以我真的很痛恨毕巧林,为了满足自己的私欲,得到一个姑娘,就偷走了贫苦的人的爱马。阻拦了人马之间...
当然,在本书中,“英雄”是指一个时代中的典型形象的刻画,重点在于其普遍性。但不可否认的是,作者或许并不认为毕巧林罪大恶极,反而以一个“清醒人”来塑造他,正如作者在序言中说的那样。毕巧林清醒的、理性的考查了当代社会人们存在的价值,但并未找到答案,所以就以一种...
《当代英雄》是19世纪俄罗斯文学家米哈伊尔·尤里耶维奇·莱蒙托夫一部长篇小说,是世界文学史上真正的经典之作之一。莱蒙托夫在1841年27岁时死于休假后回部队途中的一场决斗,一如小说主人公毕巧林在去波斯途中毫无目的毫无意义地死在路上,同样具有悲剧彩。 小说...
秋来相顾尚飘蓬,未就丹砂愧葛洪。 痛饮狂歌空度日,飞扬跋扈为谁雄。 -------------杜甫《赠李白》 杜甫比李白小十一岁,无论日后如何和李白分庭抗礼,独占天下诗坛,当时,却只是李白的铁杆fans,“何日一杯酒,重与细论文”钱锺书先生注此诗云,李白杜...

I can't believe Lermontov wrote this at 24!!! Soooo much life in it!!! "A restless fancy, an insatiable heart" that is bored by words, by love, by travel, by evil, and by an almost immoral self-consciousness. When do seriousness, feelings, youth, and sincerity all become jokes? How can one laugh at everything he himself cares most deeply about?
