This substantial 1934 volume represents a significant milestone in the early Soviet publication history of Mikhail Lermontov’s literary legacy. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the "hero of his time," including the arrangement of his complete poetic works, dramatic plays, and seminal prose that defined the romantic spirit of 19th-century Russian literature. Published as the 6th edition by the prestigious "Khudozhestvennaya Literatura" house, this collection reflects the meticulous editorial standards of the mid-1930s, aiming to present a definitive and scholarly sound version of the author’s corpus. The presence of a portrait frontispiece and a comprehensive introductory apparatus serves as a vital primary source for understanding how Lermontov’s complex psychological realism and rebellious lyricism were curated for the burgeoning Soviet intelligentsia during the pre-war era.
