Query: Ah, the Superfluous Man

For those of you who are interested in 19th Century Russian Literature, and are even more so interested in the notion of the "superfluous man", look no further. Having read this years ago in college, I guess I didnt grasp Lermontov's mastery of imagery. Pechorin, the main character of this series of novellas, is on the one hand quite a complex character, but yet on the other hand, a prototype of the superfluous man. I have been told that Pechorin's character is on par with that of Pushkin's Evgeny Onegin, but I haven't read that yet, so I will withhold comment. However, the humor and drama in this short book will certainly reward the reader. 5 Stars!
