Oblomov is the timeless masterpiece by Ivan Goncharov, a classic of Russian literature, originally published in 1859. 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 beautifully portrays 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. This novel is a must-read for anyone looking to explore the Russian literary canon
