Pechorin embodies advice from an author who ironically himself died losing in a duel. The book is a guide on how to die violently at 26, however this is probably preferable to syphilis.

Lermontov rejected the idea that Pechorin was a portrait of himself in the preface, but it seems fate wanted the same end for both of them.

THIS. Lermontov explicitly says that the book might offend many Russians of that time. Pechorin is the symbol of the edgy, nihilistic/fatalistic, bored, younger adults of higher-ish class.

pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of everything. read Nabokov's translation and enjoyed it.

I love the book. Inspired me to make a read-expected-got pic with sad Wojak as "expected" (I thought it was going to be like Eugene Onegin or Childe Harold) and evil wojak as "got". Seeing someone repost it made me feel so proud...

GReat book. RIP bella
