Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Mikhail Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time" is a groundbreaking work that intricately dissects the splintered psyche of its protagonist, Grigory Pechorin, through a series of interconnected tales. Written in a style reflective of Romanticism yet marked by a sense of disillusionment, Lermontov employs a rich tapestry of vivid imagery and psychological depth to explore themes of existential ennui, the tumult of Russian societal change, and the complexities of the human condition. The novel's fragmented structure echoes the disorientation of a post-Napoleonic era, contributing to its relevance in the context of 19th-century Russian literature, where identity and morality become battlegrounds for the soul. Mikhail Lermontov, often regarded as the successor to Pushkin, wrote this novel not only as a critique of contemporary society but also as a personal response to his tumultuous life experiences, including his turbulent relationship with authority and his own search for meaning. Deeply influenced by his own exile and the societal angst of his time, Lermontov melds his poetic insight with narrative prowess, establishing a compelling exploration of the archetypal hero who is simultaneously alluring and repulsive. This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian literature or the complexities of the human experience. Lermontov's masterful storytelling and profound character study invite readers to reflect on the paradoxes of heroism and the relentless pursuit of self in a world rife with contradictions. "A Hero of Our Time" remains a timeless exploration of what it means to be both a product and a critic of one's era. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 187.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. the phrase book is now very rare and only to be found in one or two museums. it caters travellers during the great war, for much more than a short city break with simple ordering from an a-la carte menu and enquiring about vacant rooms. The book suggests that a traveller might need to visit a barber or do extensive shopping. Apart from phrases, the book contains practical advice, such as the most convenient itineraries information on customs regulations, recommendation of hotels and restaurants, lists of places for sightseeing and entertainment, In September 2018, an exhibition Language Learning through the Ages was on display at the Taylor Institution Library in Oxford. In the section on Conversation books, one could observe J.H.Wisdom's The Briton in Russia, published by Leopold B. Hill in 1915. In the words of the exhibition curators, this was "a guide not just to the language but also to Russia". Also, "the other big step forward is that an attempt is made to help the traveller with pronunciation. The International Phonetic Alphabet had been in existence since 1888 and increasing knowledge of phonetics influenced phrasebooks in that they started to contain phonetic information but would have been too complex to use in a phrasebook".…
