{"product_id":"a-hero-of-our-time-penguin-classics-1","title":"A Hero of Our Time (Penguin Classics)","description":"The first example of the psychological novel in Russia, A Hero of Our Time influenced Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Chekhov, and other great nineteenth-century masters that followed. Its hero, Pechorin, is Byronic in his wasted gifts, his cynicism, and his desire for any kind of action-good or ill-that will stave off boredom. Outraging many critics when it was first published in 1840, A Hero of Our Time follows Pechorin as he embarks on an exciting adventure involving brigands, smugglers, soldiers, rivals, and lovers.\n\nThis edition includes a new introduction, chronology, suggestions for further reading, maps, and full explanatory notes.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140447954\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0140447954.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lermontov, Mikhail|Foote, Paul\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
