'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.
莱蒙托夫(1814-1841),俄国十九世纪杰出诗人,小说家,长篇小说《当代英雄》是他最有影响的作品之一。由《贝拉》、《马克西姆·马克西梅奇》、《塔曼》、《梅丽公爵小姐》、《宿命论者》等一组系列小说组成。
第一遍读时一直在想这个奇怪的题目,后来俄语系同学提醒说英雄在俄语中也有流氓的含义,因此似乎可以从反讽的角度理解。但另一方面,毕巧林个性中充满了欲望和激情,他的爱情既热烈,也烧伤彼此,做出邪恶的行为,在日记里留下挣扎和软弱的痕迹。他有时让人联想到《呼啸山庄》...
评分不同的时代有不同的年轻人,但不同时代的年轻人却都有着某种相似的苦恼,对生命的迷茫和苦闷,莱蒙托夫的《当代英雄》中的主人公毕巧林,无疑是其中一个。 在旁人眼里,毕巧林“是个出色的小伙子,只是人有点怪。譬如说,无论是下雨还是大冷天,他整天都在外面打猎,别人都又冷...
评分 评分我一直觉得,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...
评分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?
