Features: Lermontov is one of the few genius poets in the history of Russian literature. After Gogol called Pushkin a "Russian national poet," Belinsky hailed Lermontov as a "great national poet." Lermontov regarded poetry as an integral part of his life, using it to enrich and elevate his short, flawed existence, to console and inspire his lonely and turbulent journey. His poems are always filled with the passion of struggle and brimming with the vitality of life. This book is the most comprehensive collection of Lermontov's lyrical poems and the first complete collection of his lyrical poetry in China. The genius writer, the "national poet" of Russia, Lermontov, though he lived for only twenty-seven years, climbed to the pinnacle of Russian Romantic poetry with four hundred forty-nine lyrical poems and twenty-seven long poems, establishing in the hearts of readers a statue of a "son of freedom" and flying a banner of resistance against tyranny, singing a series of uplifting battle songs!
