Description
Oblomov, a masterpiece of Russian literature, tells the story of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a member of the landed gentry who spends most of his time in a state of apathy, surrounded by the trappings of a life he no longer wants to lead. His existence is one of routine and stagnation, until the pressures of his crumbling finances, the love of a woman, and the reproaches of a friend force him to confront the real world.
This richly satirical novel explores the complexities of human nature, revealing the tensions between idleness and responsibility, and the consequences of avoiding the commitments of life. With its witty dialogue and nuanced characterization, Oblomov is a thought-provoking and engaging read, offering insights into the human condition that remain relevant today.
Translated into English for the first time in over fifty years, this new translation by Stephen Pearl brings the novel to a new audience, introducing readers to a timeless and thought-provoking work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.
