A Hero of Our Time By J. H. Wisdom & Marr Murray Translated From The Russian Of M. Y. Lermontov The book is divided into five short stories or novellas, with an authorial preface added in the second edition. There are three major narrators. The first is a young, unnamed officer in the Russian army travelling through the Caucasus mountains. He is documenting his travels for publication later. Almost as soon as the story begins, he meets Captain Maxim Maximych, who is significantly older and has been stationed in the Caucasus for a long time. He is therefore wise to the lifestyle of Russian soldiers in this region, and immediately demonstrates this to the narrator through his interactions with the local Ossetian tribesman. Maxim Maximych serves as the second narrator, relaying to his traveling companion stories of his interactions with Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin, the main character of the story and the ultimate Byronic hero. Maxim Maximych was stationed in the Caucasus with Pechorin for some time, though when and for how long is not specified. Ultimately, Maxim Maximych gives Pechorin's diaries to the unnamed narrator. Pechorin seemingly abandoned them when he was discharged from his post, and the old Captain has been carrying them around since.

In its adventurous happenings–its abductions, duels, and sexual intrigues–A Hero of Our Time looks backward to the tales of Sir Walter Scott and Lord Byron, so beloved by Russian society in the 1820s and ’30s. In the character of its protagonist, Pechorin–the archetypal Russian antihero–Lermontov’s novel looks forward to the subsequent glories of a Russian literature that it helped, in great measure, to make possible. This edition includes a Translator’s Foreword by Vladimir Nabokov, who translated the novel in collaboration with his son, Dmitri Nabokov.

«Герой нашего времени» — единственный законченный роман М.Ю. Лермонтова. Отдельные части романа были опубликованы в «Отечественных записках» в 1839, а полностью он был издан в 1840 году. 
«В основной идее романа господина Лермонтова», — писал В.Г. Белинский, — «лежит важный современный вопрос о внутреннем человеке, вопрос, на который откликнутся все, и потому роман должен возбудить всеобщее внимание, весь интерес нашей публики… Слог повести — то блеск молнии, то удар меча, то рассыпающийся по бархату жемчуг!» 
Книга иллюстрирована работами М.Ю. Лермонтова, М.А. Врубеля, В.А. Серова, В.А. Полякова и др. художников 19 века.
