Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov, First Edition (25 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Goncharov's powerful - and frequently very funny - novelistic denunciation of Russian serfdom.Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a member of Russia's dying aristocracy - a man so lazy that he has given up his job in the Civil Service, neglected his books, insulted his friends and found himself in debt. Too apathetic to do anything about his problems, he lives in a grubby, crumbling apartment, waited on by Zakhar, his equally idle servant. Terrified by the bustle and activity necessary to participate in the real world, Oblomov manages to avoid work, postpone change and - finally - risks losing the love of his life. Written with sympathetic humour and compassion, Oblomov made Goncharov famous throughout Russia on its publication in 1859, as readers saw in this story of a man whose defining characteristic is indolence, the portrait of an entire class in decline. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a member of Russia's dying aristocracy a man so lazy that he has given up his job in the Civil Service, neglected his books, insulted his friends and found himself in debt.

Cover: Lambert. keywords: Signet Classic Russia Literature Translated 19th Century Paperback. DESCRIPTION - Oblomov lies in bed, pondering one vital, earth. shattering question: Should he get up? Thus we meet one of the greatest creations in all Russian literature - Oblomov, good natured and indolent, with the mind of a reasonable man and the ambition of a giant sloth, wearily reclining while a procession of visitors plead with him to change his ways. We are drawn to this strange figure in the same way as is the energetic Stolz or the beautiful and vivacious Olga. Fascinated, we watch the meanderings of his life, his attempts at reform, his inevitable descent to his peculiar fate with the interest we usually reserve for the plight of a friend, a brother, or our very selves. For Oblomov's idiosyncrasies are universal. and 'Oblomovism' knows no class, no era, no country; it finds a home in every human heart. 'That the result is a great comic story, the world knows. [Oblomov is] a juicy character, a monstrosity of indolence wrapped in the most famous dressing gown in the literature of laziness, a man who, as he yawns his way through one evasion after another, is always a magnet for our sympathies as well as for our friendly laughter.' - Harry T. Moore inventory #31134.
