Abstract

The research aims to translate and comment part of Mikhail Lermontovs (1814-1841) lyrical poetry, seeing Romanticism as a historical concept and literary translation as a form of criticism. Lermontov is one of the most important authors in Russian Literature and is almost unknown among Brazilian public. (AU)
