About this audiobook
A Hero of Our Time is indeed a portrait, but not of one man. It is a portrait built up of all our generation's vices in full bloom. You will again tell me that a human being cannot be so wicked, and I will reply that if you can believe in the existence of all the villains of tragedy and romance, why wouldn't believe that there was a Pechorin? If you could admire far more terrifying and repulsive types, why aren't you more merciful to this character, even if it is fictitious? Isn't it because there's more truth in it than you might wish? (Summary by the author)

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It is a good, well written, exciting story. The main character is shockingly amoral though-- not a story for kids. You kind of want to punch the main character multiple times throughout the story, and he is rather flat. But the plot is gripping and point of view is unique. Spoiler alert: there is kidnapping and sexual exploitation.
