Найти книгу: "Oblomov"

Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov (1812-1891) was a Russian novelist who achieved literary fame later in life, after a career in the civil-service which spanned more than thirty years. His first novel, «A Common Story», was a definitive success and his notoriety was cemented with the publication of his second novel, «Oblomov», in 1850. Based on a short story written a year prior, «Oblomov» is about a cultured, intelligent, upper middle class man experiencing a mid-life crisis. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov has sunk into a lethargic stupor, which he calls «Oblomovism,» and spends the majority of his time lying on the sofa or in bed. Goncharov portrays beautifully the process of Oblomov's decline, as well as its consequences, at first through flashbacks and then through the intervention of Andrey Stoltz, a man quite the opposite of Oblomov. The novel was revered for its brutal but honest representation of the slothfulness of the Russian gentry, and has become a timeless classic of Russian and psychological fiction.

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.
