Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov is a younger contemporary of Pushkin and the second greatest figure in Russian poetry of the 19th century after him. In 2024, the poet's 210th birthday is celebrated. He was destined to live only 26 years and only 13 years to enter the history of world literature. Lermontov's creative evolution was rapid. The romantic hero of his youthful lyrics challenges the whole world: "I was born so that the whole world would be a spectator of my triumph or death..." In his later poems, the poet speaks on behalf of the generation. Having overcome romantic rhetoric, having generalized the most important artistic discoveries of his time, Lermontov essentially summed up the golden age of Russian poetry and opened up new horizons for it. This edition includes poems from 1828–1841, the poems “Mtsyri”, “Demon”, “Song about the merchant Kalashnikov”, etc., the play “Masquerade”, as well as the novel “A Hero of Our Time”, which marked the beginning of the era of Russian psychological prose. The book includes illustrations by artists of the 19th – early 20th centuries, masters of book graphics – M. A. Zichy, V. A. Polyakov, K. A. Trutovsky and others.
