Herra Oblomov: Romaani maaorjuuden ajoilta

by Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov

Translated by Ilmari Kianto

"Herra Oblomov: Romaani maaorjuuden ajoilta" by Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov is a novel first published in 1859. The story follows Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a young Russian nobleman who embodies extreme sloth and inaction. Unable to leave his bed or make decisions, Oblomov drifts through life while his friend Stoltz attempts to rouse him. A romance with Olga offers hope, but Oblomov's apathy proves too powerful. This satirical portrait of paralysis and wasted potential became a defining work of nineteenth-century Russian literature.
