Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (1814–1841) was a Russian poet, writer, playwright, and artist. His work, with its depth and musicality, represented a new flowering in the poetry and prose of the 19th century. “Reading every line that came from Lermontov’s pen, it’s as if you were listening to musical chords and at the same time following with your eyes the shaken strings from which they were plucked by an invisible hand...” wrote V.G. Belinsky. Lermontov’s works influenced both his contemporaries and poets and writers of the following generations — as A.A. Blok noted, they “became part of the flesh and blood of Russian literature.”

This collection includes selected works by the author — poems from different years, the poems “Izmail-Bey,” “Mtsyri,” “Song about… the merchant Kalashnikov,” “Demon,” the drama “Masquerade,” and the novel “A Hero of Our Time.”

The publication is accompanied by illustrations by artists of the 19th – early 20th centuries V.A. Polyakov, M. Zichy, V.M. Vasnetsov and others, including some quite rare ones. Also in the book you will find fragments of paintings and drawings by Lermontov himself.
