A Hero of Our Time
Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov
Leído por Kevin W. Davidson
A Hero of Our Time is indeed a portrait, but not of one man. It is a portrait built up of all our generation's vices in full bloom. You will again tell me that a human being cannot be so wicked, and I will reply that if you can believe in the existence of all the villains of tragedy and romance, why wouldn't believe that there was a Pechorin? If you could admire far more terrifying and repulsive types, why aren't you more merciful to this character, even if it is fictitious? Isn't it because there's more truth in it than you might wish?

Reseñas
Pechorin is a Hero of Our Time, too.
Ben K
Mr. Davidson is one of the best librivox recorders I have heard so far. This work is a masterpiece, known in Russia as the first great Russian novel, but somehow not commonly read in the Anglophone world. The tale is exciting, expansive like the Caucasus in which the story unfolds, and profoundly human. 10/10 would recommend.
Stephen Lowe
ah, the good old days when the rich were heartless and the women were nervous. Well read.
Clementi
Excellent reading of a much overlooked novel.
