I was in my teens when I first read this novel and fell in love with it almost immediately. Today, almost twenty years later, it's still my the favorite book. Love has lasted!
A Hero of Our Time is Grigoriy Aleksandrovich Pechorin (my ultimate anti-hero), a dashing young officer with profound insight into psyche of women.
The psychological profile of Pechorin is quite perplexing. From the outside, he's highly intelligent, well educated, impertinent, daring, self-confident, even ruthless character, though, from the inside, he's like an injured animal licking his wounds.
