About this author

Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов), a Russian Romantic writer, poet and painter, sometimes called "the poet of the Caucasus", was the most important Russian poet after Alexander Pushkin's death. His influence on later Russian literature is still felt in modern times, not only through his poetry, but also by his prose.

Lermontov died in a duel like his great predecessor poet, Aleksandr Pushkin.
Even more so tragically strange (if not to say fatalistic) that both poets described in their major works fatal duel outcomes, in which the main characters (Onegin and Pechorin) were coming out victorious.

“In the first place, [his eyes] never laughed when he laughed. Have you ever noticed this peculiarity some people have? It is either the sign of an evil nature or of a profound and lasting sorrow. ”
Mikhail Lermontov, Un Heros de Notre Temps

“حين أفكر فى احتمال موت قريب , لا أفكر الا فى نفسى وحدها .. مالى والأصدقاء الذين سرعان ما ينسوننى , و مالى و النساء اللواتى حين سيقبلن رجلا اّخر , سيسخرن منى حتى لا يغار صاحبهن من ميت .. و من عواصف الحياة رجعت ببعض الأفكار فقط , و لم أرجع بعاطفة واحدة .. ان فى نفسى رجلين : واحدا يعيش بأوسع معانى هذةالكلمة , و اّخر يفكر ويحكم على الأول..بعد ساعة قد يقول لك أحدهما وداعاّ ...
و الثـانى ... الثانى ؟”
Mikhail Lermontov
