Description
Set at the beginning of the nineteenth century, before the ideal of industrious modern man,
when idleness was still looked upon by Russia's serf-owning rural gentry as a plausible and
worthy goal, there was Oblomov.
Indolent, inattentive, incurious, given to daydreaming and procrastination-indeed, given to any
excuse to remain horizontal-Oblomov is hardly the stuff of heroes. Yet, he is impossible not to
admire. The image of this gentle daydreamer, roused to action for one brief period of ardent but
begotten love, is a fixture of Russian culture. He is forgiven for his weakness and beloved for his
shining soul.
Ivan Goncharov's masterpiece is not just ingenious social satire, but also a sharp criticism of
nineteenth-century Russian society.
Translator Marian Schwartz breathes new life into Goncharov's voice in this first translation from
the generally recognized definitive edition of the Russian original, edited by L.S. Geiro and
published in Leningrad in 1987. Schwartz also includes a Gastronomical Glossary in this edition.
The Russian novelist Ivan Goncharov(18121891) was born in Simbirsk, Russia. He served for
thirty years as a minor government official and traveled widely. His short stories, critiques,
essays, and memoirs were published posthumously in 1919. Oblomov was his most popular
and critically acclaimed novel during his lifetime.
Marian Schwartzhas translated Russian literature for over thirty years. She has published over
two dozen book-length translations, along with twenty issues of Russian Studies in Literature.
She is the principal English translator of the works of Nina Berberova and is a past president of
the American Literary Translators Association.
Insightful reviews
Joel: Serge Diaghilev, founder of the Ballet Russe, commissioned Russian composer Anatol
Liadov to compose the music for a new ballet called "The Firebird." As the date for rehearsals
was fast approaching, Diaghilev contacted Liadov to inquire as to the status of the work. Liadov,
a notoriously lazy guy, cheerfully responded that he had just purchased some beautiful score
paper. Enraged and panicky about the short time left, Diaghilev asked Rimsky Korsakov if he
would perhaps recommend one of his more talented pupils to compose the work instead. He
recommended Igor Stravinsky.
Liadov, scion of a wealthy, aristocratic Russian family, lived according to a then fashionable
attitude among the elite known as Oblomovism, a purposely cultivated idleness that viewed any
sort of work or effort as a waste of time and beneath the dignity of one of high social rank. This
mind set was named for the main character of the novel, Oblomov.
MJ Nicholls: I adore classic Russian literature, more so than classic English or American. It was
always a regret of mine that I never got to study any Russians, having opted to do an
English/Scottish university degree in 2004. Still: regrets, regrets.
Oblomov is a sentimental satire, poking fun at the indolence of the landed gentry and the
indecision of the ruling class leading to ruin and shame. The hero is a dreamer who struggles to
get out of bed until one day he meets Olga, who he woos and courts and then loses through
laziness, taking to his bed again until devious clerks start wheedling his money. It's all very
miserable and melodramatic, like all great Russian lit.
The novel isn't always economical with plot: there are stretches of soupy indulgence with the
Oblomov's Dream chapter, and later sections detailing Olga's thoughts and feelings feel utterly
inconsequential to the story. Anywho, Oblomov himself is a tragic hero, cut from the
Rashkolnikov or Underground Man cloth. Recommended for Tolstoyians and your cheerier
Dostoevskyians.

Issicratea: This ebook is an entire delight. comedian and profound is a tough mixture to drag off,
yet Oblomov has it to perfection. Oblomov himself is a powerful comedian character, while
sympathetic and ridiculous, hyperbolic and relatively realistic. He defines an archetype within
the comparable manner as Don Quijote does (I used to be reminded rather a lot of Cervantes
examining this novel).Oblomov is bodily the antithesis of Quijote: he’s a titanic slob, who
spends the first—hilarious—hundred pages of the booklet now not rather summoning the strength
to get out of bed, even supposing he's sometimes will get very close. “Lying down was once no
longer for Oblomov a necessity, because it is for a in poor health guy … or a pleasure, because it
is for a lazy man; it was once his general condition.” His preferred costume is an historic
dressing-gown, which we see getting ever extra shabby and unkempt around the process the
novel, and which symbolizes his cocoon-like existence: “the dressing dress had an enormous
variety of inestimable features in Oblomov’s eyes.” the radical catches Oblomov quite young, in
his thirties, while he has capability nonetheless for awakening from his gargantuan sloth; and
lots more and plenty of the plot of the unconventional (such because it is) comes from the
makes an attempt of his early life friend, the hyper-energized Stolz, to impress him again into a
few approximation to a typical life. less than Stolz’s tutelage, Oblomov even engages in an
unbelievable love affair with a beautiful, ardent, and romantic younger woman, Olga. the best
way the affection tale is dealt with is touching and comedian and psychologically astute, like lots
during this book. i used to be impressed, and relatively surprised, by way of Olga’s complexity
as a character—it’s by no means anything you can regularly imagine of the younger girl love
curiosity in nineteenth-century novels (I’m you, Dickens). In fact, Goncharov is usually reliable
on women; I additionally loved Agafya, Oblomov’s easy soul landlady, who emerges as an
important personality within the moment 1/2 the book. Goncharov portrays her with nice
sympathy and sensitivity, and and not using a hint of the social snobbishness obvious in Stolz’s
response to her. Agafya is like Oblomov, comically “mechanical” in Bergson’s sense,
notwithstanding she is the complete opposite of him when it comes to actual strength and
industriousness. But, like Oblomov, she is way from a cliché, and there's whatever admirable
approximately her. She jogged my memory a bit of Flaubert’s Felicité in “Un coeur simple.”One
factor I cherished approximately this novel was once its philosophical dimension. Oblomov’s
inertia truly lends itself to a sociopolitical interpretation; he can basically manage to pay for to
delight in such entire virtuoso couch-potatodom simply because he's a rentier, dwelling off the
toil of three hundred serfs again on his cherished (but mostly avoided) kinfolk estate. whilst his
trusty, crusty, retainer Zakhar, one other first-class comedian character, incautiously compares
his inertia to “other people’s” willingness to get on with things, Oblomov treats him to an
impressive diatribe declaring particularly how offensive this comparability is: “I am just like the
‘others,’ am I? Do I rush about? Do I work? … Do i'm going wanting things? ... by no means in
my life, thank God, have I needed to pull a sock on my foot myself!” even though he's sincerely
a fabricated from his background, though, and will be (and was, on the time) learn as a comic
strip of an exact sociopolitical phenomenon, Oblomov is much greater than that during the
novel; he's an immensely endearing character, and there's a definite philosophical coherence to
his hedonism and refusal of existence (as good as a component of fear, that's in particular good
captured in his reaction to Olga). His is one of those secular quietism, which has an charm even
to anyone like me, who's temperamentally way more of a Stolz than an Oblomov. It’s on no
account undesirable to question sometimes what we “other people” imagine we're really
attaining with all our speeding around.I learn this within the 1954 translation by means of David
Magarshack within the Penguin edition, yet i've got learn good stuff concerning the extra
modern translation by means of Stephen Pearl and will be to listen to from someone who
understands both. I’d feel free to have an excuse to learn Oblomov again!

Alun Williams: My mom often used to accuse me of being "like Oblomov" whilst i used to be a
teenager, and possibly in a while as well, so while I came upon Oblomov in my father's attic this
year, i presumed I may still learn the booklet at last.It is the single ebook i will be able to
remember studying the place the most personality remains to be in mattress forty pages in, and
nonetheless no longer washed and dressed while he falls asleep back at approximately web
page a hundred (despite the scoldings from his devoted yet truculent man-servant Zakhar who's
maybe the main enjoyable personality within the book)!But in a while Oblomov is in short roused
from his torpor via a tender lady with whom he falls in love. This used to be the main relaxing a
part of the booklet for me, for the perception it supplies into the social mores of mid 19th-century
Russia. i believe feminists may locate the portrayal of Olga very attention-grabbing - as she
attempts to flee many of the constraints of the time. However, even love can't continue Oblomov
wide awake for long, and finally Olga realises this and so they part. Oblomov sinks definitively
into lethargy, and but unearths a few form of happiness with a degrading marriage to his landlady.I discovered the e-book very uneven: an extended section, ostensibly a dream, narrating
Oblomov's adolescence at his property Oblomovka may need benefited from a few pruning. one
of many book's different major characters, is Stolz, might be Oblomov's purely actual male
friend, who first introduces Olga to him,. after which later marries her himself. full of life and
industrious, like his German father, he's essentially meant as a counter-point to Oblomov, yet
he's a creative failure and that i stumbled on it essential to bypass a few of the passages in the
direction of the tip describing his lifestyles with Olga.Nevertheless this can be definitely a e-book
worth reading, and that's deservedly thought of a vintage of Russian literature.
