Lermontov's Hero of Our Time

Tuesday, April 30

Final thoughts on Hero of Our Time later this week - in the meantime please consider reading Lermontov's "Borodino" - a narrative poem written from the point of view of a Russian veteran of the War of 1812 and Russia's battle against Napoleon's invasion... It is one of the most famous poems in the Russian language!!!

Sections of the Borodino Panorama by Franz Roubaud painted in 1912, the centennial of the battle.
