Summary
Sergei Nikolaevich Durilin: Lermontov
The writer's complete biography: the real circumstances in which he grew up, his youthful ecstasies and fascination with Pushkin, his occasional light-hearted joy and life momentum, but also a deep, carefully concealed sadness. Then education, a military career, the search for meaning and happiness.
This novel, according to the writer's own explanation, is the "history of the soul" of a man who was typical of the Russian society of his era in terms of fiery thoughts, hot feelings and aspirations of his will.
