Найти книгу: "Oblomov"

Based on a novel by the Russian writer Ivan Goncharov, this dramatic comedy features his eponymous hero, Oblomov. A young man of considerable decency and kindness (with a «soul as clear as crystal»), Oblomov has fallen into such a state of lethargy that he resists even getting out of bed, finding every excuse possible to do absolutely nothing. All the efforts of his male and female friends to energize him ultimately fail in various hilarious ways. Goncharov's character became so identifiable, so emblematic of a particular subset of the upper classes, that it became a byword (olbomovism) for self-imposed laziness and indolence.

Romaani tegevus toimub Nikolai I valitsemisajal.Gontsarov habimargistab “Oblomovis” parisorjust, mis kirjaniku arvates laks paratamatult vastu oma lopule, paljastab maa-aadli mahajaamust ning tardumust ja naitab meile “oblomovlust” kui vene elu suurimat pahet ning hada (peale viinajoomise muidugi). Romaani idee tekkis 1847. aastal. “Peatselt peale “Tavalise loo” ilmumist ajakirjas Sovremennik oli mul valminud “Oblomovi” plaan,” kirjutas Gontsarov moned ajauhikud hiljem. Kahjuks edenes too romaani kallal aeglaselt, lausa teosammul, ja suurte vaheaegadega. Katke romaanist, “Oblomovi unenagu”, ilmus trukis veebruaris 1849. a. Romaani esimene osa valmis mustandina 1850. aastal.1.2 – Kirjavigade parandused.
