Summary/Abstract: Lermontov’s A Hero of Our Time never fails to impress with its accurate analysis of modern man’s inner drama. Grigoriy Aleksandrovich Pechorin’s story is that of a self-made man, of a lone sufferer and dignified wanderer around the world. Pechorin’s reflection isn’t a blessing but rather a damnation of a person who has come to realize his brainy superfluity. Boredom is a metonym for the impasse of the soul in the calculating greedy world.
