Autorenporträt

Mikhail Lermontov was a Russian poet, novelist, and playwright, considered one of the most important figures of Russian Romanticism. Often referred to as the "poet of the Caucasus," Lermontov's works explore themes of fate, freedom, and existential disillusionment. Though his literary career was brief, his influence on Russian literature was profound, and he is often seen as the successor to Alexander Pushkin. Lermontov gained national recognition in 1837 with his poem Death of a Poet, written in response to the death of Alexander Pushkin. The poem's fierce denunciation of Russian high society led to his exile in the Caucasus, a region that inspired some of his most evocative works. Despite his short life, Lermontov left an indelible mark on Russian literature. His works anticipated many of the existential and psychological themes that would dominate Russian fiction in the 19th and 20th centuries. His lyrical and narrative innovations paved the way for future Russian literary giants, and his poetry remains widely studied and admired. Lermontov's influence extends beyond literature-his portrayal of the Caucasus shaped Russian perceptions of the region, and his introspective, rebellious characters resonated deeply with generations of readers. His writing, often critical of Russian society, positioned him as a voice of youthful defiance and philosophical inquiry.
