"Oblomov" evolved from an 1849 short story entitled "Oblomov's Dream: An Episode from an Unfinished Novel" ("Son Oblomova"). The main character, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, was compared to Shakespeare's Hamlet. Oblomov answers "No!" to the question "To be or not to be?" Fyodor Dostoyevsky, among others, considered Goncharov a noteworthy author of high stature. Turgenev, who fell out with Goncharov after the latter accused him of plagiarism, nevertheless declared: "As long as there is even just one Russian alive, Oblomov will be remembered!"
