A FIGHTER AND A LOVER. A HERO OR A VILLAIN?

It is a time of war. A young army officer, Pechorin, has arrived in the Caucasus. Pechorin is a nobleman who is handsome, charming, and rich. He enjoys hunting wild pigs, 16-year-old Circassian princesses, and power. He is also selfish, violent, and rather bored with life. Whoever he meets is changed forever...

You will follow him through five stories. You will read his private diary. You will penetrate the secrets of a human soul. And you will ask yourself, “who is Pechorin?”
