Autorenporträt
Mikhail Lermontov, born in 1814 in Moscow, is celebrated as one of Russia's most significant Romantic poets and writers. His upbringing was marked by tragedy and familial strife, particularly after the death of his mother when he was just three years old. Raised by his strict and controlling grandmother, Lermontov's early years were shaped by loneliness and introspection, which later fueled his creative work. His experiences, including his travels to the Caucasus, left a lasting imprint on his poetry, where themes of nature, fate, and human struggle are prominent.Lermontov's literary career took off with his poignant and often satirical poetry, which earned him both admiration and notoriety. His famous poem Death of the Poet, written in response to the death of Alexander Pushkin, brought him immediate fame but also led to his first exile to the Caucasus due to its politically charged content. This exile, however, became a period of immense creativity for Lermontov, leading to the creation of his most famous work, A Hero of Our Time. This novel, often considered the first major Russian psychological novel, delved into the complexities of the human soul and the existential crises of its protagonist, Pechorin.Despite his growing success, Lermontov's life was cut short at the age of 26 when he was killed in a duel in 1841. His death marked the loss of one of Russia's most promising literary talents, but his legacy endured.
