Anti-hero Pechorin heroism unlike the surrounding character - though idealistic and noble - may lie in the purity of who he is; a thoroughly unlike man, a scoundrel, yet charming and physically handsome.Pechorin has no delusions on that what he is and his grounded reality of his amoral existence, may be reason he plays with the lives of other, so effectively. And despite his contempt for others, for women, friendship, ideals and love, the nature of Romanticism, he is simply just a diametric opposite to these ideals. His confession to the princess, is probably the truth on how he became the man he is now, only used to cruel ends, probably the greatest defeat on who he was. Even his fatalism is just a refuge for a wounded man. He is not a real villain or even "anti-hero", a person for Russian literature far more frightening yet strangely harmeless, is Porferi "Lill' Judas" Golowljow, an cold dehumanised automaton, who simply defines his existence by the dismantling of others around him through lies and deceit, simply because otherwise his mind would stop. I like this book very munch, and in winterday find some comfort in the words of Pechorin.

The adventures of one Grigory Pechorin, soldier. He is a somewhat dashing, somewhat Byronic antihero, often bored when he achieves his goals. He's not really that nice, yet people find themselves drawn to him. Could fit these times as well as those Lermontov was writing in. Definitely worth reading if you like Byronic antiheroes.
