Contemporary Heroes (classic Translation Lin)
About This Novel
"Modern Heroes" is a social psychological novel. Its language is like a lyric poem written by a poet. No matter whether it describes scenes or emotions, it is full of poetry. The protagonist Bi Qiaolin is an aristocratic young officer who serves in the Caucasus. He is full of energy, extremely intelligent, and has a straightforward personality, but he cannot find a goal in life. He is mentally empty, cynical, and causes trouble everywhere. He consumes his extraordinary intelligence and strong energy in half-truth and half-false love games and adventurous actions. His selfishness and callousness caused great misfortune to others and deepened his own inner pain and despair. Bi Qiaolin is another "superfluous man" image in Russian literature after Pushkin's Onegin, and has extraordinary literary and social significance.
