Oblomov

Ivan Goncharov’s Oblomov is a profound exploration of indolence and the human condition, centered on Ilya Oblomov, a Russian nobleman whose defining trait is his overwhelming lethargy. Unable to muster the energy for work or ambition, Oblomov spends his days in bed or lost in nostalgic reveries of his idyllic childhood estate. His apathy contrasts sharply with his pragmatic friend Stoltz, who strives for progress and success. When Oblomov falls in love with Olga, her attempts to inspire him initially spark change, but his inertia ultimately prevails. Goncharov’s novel critiques societal stagnation and the feudal system while painting Oblomov’s passivity as both tragic and universal. A poignant blend of humor and pathos, Oblomov examines the tension between dreams and reality, leaving readers to ponder the fine line between contentment and complacency.
