E鈥� tutto in una parola, 鈥渙blomovismo鈥�. E鈥� il male che attanaglia il nostro protagonista e un鈥檌ntera classe sociale, incapace di fronteggiare l鈥檌ncalzare della storia. Il nuovo avanza e bussa imperioso alle porte intarsiate e imbottite di velluti dei nobili russi, ma Oblomov si adagia in un dolce oblio del presente e si rifugia nel ricordo di un鈥檈t脿 dorata, fatta di servi docili e di ricchezze possedute per diritto di nascita. E in quest鈥檕blio, fuori dal mondo e dalla storia, si addormenter脿 per sempre, con le sue belle mani bianche, totalmente ignare del lavoro.

Russian novelist Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov (/藞伞蓲nt蕛蓹藢r蓴藧f, -藢r蓲f/; Russian: 袠胁邪虂薪 袗谢械泻褋邪虂薪写褉芯胁懈褔 袚芯薪褔邪褉芯虂胁), best known for his novels A Common Story (1847), Oblomov (1859), and The Precipice (1869). He also served in many official capacities, including the position of censor.

Goncharov was born into the family of a wealthy merchant, elevated as a reward for military service of his grandfather to gentry status. A boarding school, then the Moscow college of commerce, and finally Moscow State University educated him. After graduating, he served for a short time in the office of the governor of Simbirsk before moving to Saint Petersburg, where he worked as government translator and private tutor, while publishing poetry and fiction in private almanacs. People published A Common Story , first novel of Goncharov, in Sovremennik in 1847.

Goncharov's second and best-known novel Oblomov was published in 1859 in Otechestvennye zapiski. His third and final novel The Precipice was published in Vestnik Evropy in 1869. He also worked as a literary and theatre critic. Towards the end of his life Goncharov wrote a memoir called An Uncommon Story, in which he accused his literary rivals, first and foremost Ivan Turgenev, of having plagiarized his works and prevented him from achieving European fame. The memoir was published in 1924. Fyodor Dostoyevsky, among others, considered Goncharov an author of high stature. Anton Chekhov is quoted as stating that Goncharov was "...ten heads above me in talent."

There is a crustacean called a hermit crab that lives its entire life hiding from the world in a seashell鈥� This is the way Ilya Ilyich Oblomov exists among other human beings鈥�
He was a man of about thirty-two or three, of medium height and pleasant appearance, with dark grey eyes, but with a total absence of any definite idea, any concentration, in his features. Thoughts promenaded freely all over his face, fluttered about in his eyes, reposed on his half-parted lips, concealed themselves in the furrows of his brow, and then vanished completely 鈥� and it was at such moments that an expression of serene unconcern spread all over his face. This unconcern passed from his face into the contours of his body and even into the folds of his dressing-gown.

Inertia of the mind and fear of everything new don鈥檛 allow the hero to do anything or take any however small step forward鈥� He is locked in a prison of his apathy, ennui and listlessness so lethargy is the way of his living from day to day鈥�
鈥榃rites articles at night,鈥� Oblomov mused. 鈥榃hen does he sleep? And yet he probably earns five thousand a year. It鈥檚 his bread and butter. But to keep on writing, wasting his mind and soul on trifles, to change his convictions, sell his intelligence and imagination, do violence to his nature, be in a perpetual state of excitement and turmoil, knowing no rest, always rushing about鈥� And write and write, like a wheel or a machine 鈥� write to-morrow, write the day after 鈥� the holidays, summer will come 鈥� always writing, writing! When is he to stop and have a rest? Poor wretch!鈥�

But the novel is much wider than just a portrayal of the main hero 鈥� Ivan Goncharov paints the whole gallery of the vivid characters that constitute the human fauna surrounding Oblomov.
When he meets a young intelligent girl, Oblomov seems to wake from his hibernation and he starts changing his ways of life but all in vain 鈥� inertness doesn鈥檛 let him go and he is pushed back into the mire of his inactivity for good.
鈥楧on鈥檛 talk rubbish! Man has been created to arrange his own life and even to change his own nature, and you鈥檝e grown a big belly and think that nature has sent you this burden! You had wings once, but you took them off.鈥�

Tranquility鈥� Sometimes a snail or a slug would crawl across a green leaf and after it nothing would be left except a slightly glimmering trail of mucus.
If the meek inherit the earth, the world will be lying in ruins鈥�

It was the moment of solemn stillness in nature, when the creative mind works more actively, poetic thoughts glow more fervently, the heart burns with passion more ardently or suffers more bitter anguish, when the seed of a criminal design ripens unhindered in a cruel soul, when鈥�.everhtying in Oblomovka is peacefully and soundly asleep.

The hero of this delightful 19th-century Russian masterpiece is the melancholy and slothful landowner Ilya Ilyitch Oblomov, who spends about half of the book in bed. Daydreaming about his childhood on Oblomovka, the family estate, he forges grand plans, more hindered than helped by his grumpy servant Zahar. When the adorable Olga appears on stage, singing , Oblomov's listless, lethargic life is turned upside down...

Heartwarming, moving, often funny and so recognizable. After all, isn鈥檛 there a little of Oblomov in all of us?

(Illustration N. Shcheglov)

Dit is het uur, waarin de weidse stilte van de nacht heel de natuur in zich opneemt, waarin de scheppende geest nieuwe kracht ontvangt, de dichtader rijkelijker vloeit, waarin het hart heftiger klopt van hartstocht of pijnlijk ineenkrimpt van een smartelijk begeren, waarin de kiem van de misdaad in het wrede gemoed tot welige bloei komt, en waarin in Oblomowka allen ongestoord slapen.

De held van dit heerlijke 19de-eeuwse meesterwerk is de melancholieke en aartsluie landeigenaar Ilja Oblomow, die zowat de helft van het boek doezelend in bed doorbrengt. Dagdromend over zijn jeugd op Oblomowka, het familielandgoed, smeedt hij grootse plannen, daarbij meer gehinderd dan geholpen door zijn knorrige huisknecht. Als de aanbiddelijke Olga op het toneel verschijnt, wordt Oblomows lusteloze leventje danig overhoop gegooid鈥� Hartverwarmend, ontroerend, vaak grappig en heel herkenbaar, want zijn wij niet allemaal een b茅茅tje Oblomow?

(Book 884 from 1001 books) - Oblomovka = 袨斜谢芯屑芯胁 = Oblomov, Ivan Goncharov

Oblomov is the second novel by Russian writer Ivan Goncharov, first published in 1859.

Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is the central character of the novel, portrayed as the ultimate incarnation of the superfluous man, a symbolic character in 19th-century Russian literature.

Oblomov is a young, generous nobleman who seems incapable of making important decisions or undertaking any significant actions. Throughout the novel he rarely leaves his room or bed. In the first 50 pages, he manages only to move from his bed to a chair.

The book was considered a satire of Russian nobility whose social and economic function was increasingly questioned in mid-nineteenth century Russia. It has been said that "no other novel has been used to describe the ever-so-elusive 'Russian mentality' or 'Russian soul' as frequently as Oblomov".

Mi-e at卯t de lene s膬 scriu o recenzie, e at卯t de bine 卯n pat, n-are nici un rost s膬 m膬 scol, s膬 merg la birou, s膬 deschid laptopul etc. etc., 卯nc卯t nu pot dec卯t s膬 v膬 卯ndemn s膬 citi葲i romanul lui Goncearov...

***

Dup膬 3 ore. Cu un suprem efort de care s卯nt foarte m卯ndru, transcriu dintr-o recenzie mai veche de-a mea (sic!) acest 葯ir de 卯ntreb膬ri metafizice:

鈥濷are Oblomov, s膬racul, st卯nd toat膬 ziua 卯n pat, sim葲ea c膬 tr膬ie葯te? De ce o tot am卯na pe fermec膬toarea Olga Sergheevna? De ce nu voia s膬 aib膬 o so葲ie? De ce nu se hot膬ra odat膬 葯i odat膬 s膬 se ridice din pat 葯i s膬 se 卯nsoare? Se temea c膬 posesiunea lui va sf卯r葯i prin a-l poseda?鈥�.

Mai pe sear膬 am s膬 meditez la chestia asta. Acum m膬 culc la loc s-o aprofundez.

***

M-am trezit provizoriu ca s膬 beau un ceai rusesc. P卯n膬 fierbe samovarul, transcriu acest minunat pasaj: 鈥濸entru Ilia Ilici, a sta culcat nu era o necesitate, ca pentru un bolnav sau pentru un om care vrea s膬 doarm膬, nici ceva 卯nt卯mpl膬tor, ca pentru unul obosit, dar nici o pl膬cere, ca pentru un lene艧; era o pozi葲ie normal膬. C卯nd era acas膬 鈥� 艧i era mai 卯ntotdeauna acas膬 鈥� st膬tea tot timpul culcat 卯n aceea艧i odaie unde l-am g膬sit 艧i care-i servea 卯n aceia艧i timp de iatac, de birou 艧i de salon. Mai avea 卯nc膬 trei od膬i, dar intra rar 卯n ele, numai c芒teodat膬 diminea牛a, 艧i nu 卯n fiecare zi, ci numai c卯nd servitorul m膬tura 卯n birou, ceea ce nu se 卯nt卯mpla zilnic. 脦n 卯nc膬perile acestea, perdelele erau trase 艧i mobilele acoperite cu 卯nvelitori de p卯nz膬鈥�.

Cu ultimele puteri, stors, m膬 卯ntind la loc pe canapea. Asta e pozi葲ia mea normal膬. N-am mai b膬ut ceaiul, am preferat o vodc膬. Face minuni 卯nainte de culcare. Noapte bun膬! Pa!

I know I鈥檓 not going to do Oblomov justice: this is what happens when I鈥檓 in awe. I鈥檓 much better really at slagging books off. Masterpieces leave me 鈥業鈥檓 not worthy鈥� tongue-tied.

Oblomov is so big he鈥檚 become a word in Russian: 鈥榦blomovschina鈥�. As in, the Russian dictionary. To mean 鈥楪odot-ism鈥� or an existential couch-potato. The man is wedded to his couch: life bubbles all around him at super sonic speed, but Oblomov: well, he....reclines. He lays about 24/7, and then he dies. The end.

But. And yet. There are so many layers to this, the proverbial onion can but weep. A helicopter view lays bare a man too lazy and apathetic to emulate a Hamlet simulacra. If the latter debates the merit of 鈥榞oing on鈥�, the former is merely 鈥榞etting on鈥�. Its not a question of 鈥榳hy live鈥�, but one of getting the whole business of living over and done with. Oblomov is simply waiting to die: whether he realises it or not. Zoom in closer and Oblomov is a metaphor, a gynormous symbol. Here is what of:

How many times have I cradled a pint and reminisced with 鈥榓uld acquaintance鈥� on the 鈥榳hat ifs鈥� of life. People locked into the mundane, informed of socially accepted barriers which separate them from a degree of greatness: the children, the mortgage, ailing parents they need to care for, health constraints, money woes; all of this and more is why they tread the hamster wheel and live the groundhog day and notch one same old after another. We clink glasses and toast and encourage each other in attaining even greater average-ness, for the sake of A鈥� that. Goncharev, as I see it, lays bare this lie, and promulgates Oblamov: who doesn鈥檛 have any of the above or other worries, but simply succumbs to the utilitarian without any excuse whatsoever.

Self limiting, inauspicious, unambitious, unadventurous, dispassionate, locked in analysis paralysis, passive, call it ,sister: because thats what the bulk of us are, sheep! No, it wasn鈥檛 your momma what did it, nor the groping catholic priest, nor daddy whos sick in bed, nor the lack of moolah: its YOU. No excuses. One just wants movement in life, or one doesn鈥檛. There is no point blaming circumstances in how we turn out: this is very much a nature over nurture battle-cry.

Oblomov, wallowing in utmost sloth, inability to act or live, in full knowledge of his dire circumstances, has this to say: 鈥榊et no life but this do I wish, or have it in my power, to live鈥�. Quite a brave introspection. Bottom line: we are all, EXACTLY, where we want to be. Regardless of what excuses we heap on our life-shit pile, we鈥檙e ultimately living the life we want. That this is so is intuitive: if we didn鈥檛 want our shit lives, we would do something about it. What we really mean is: 鈥業 鈥榤 living my life exactly how I want it, but this isn鈥檛 socially acceptable. Therefore, I鈥檓 going to conjure up a whole load of stock-pile excuses as to why I鈥檓 doing this鈥�.

Oblamov is also a bit more than a dissection of individual human psyche. Goncharev also tackles 鈥榯he Russian zeitgeist鈥�. And how. In exploring the collective consciousness of Russia, he does something which I love, love, love, for personal reasons, being a multi-cultural product myself. He鈥檚 quick to spot the extreme backwardness and childishness and inutility of the apathetic, superstitious milieu, and he鈥檚 not afraid to show it. But. Yet. In vivisecting and laying bare the dross of Russian trope, he wields the scalpel with infinite care and love. Underlying his condemnation is a profound and unrevokable love for his motherland, a generous tolerance despite his misgivings, an acknowledgement that no matter how deep the scalpel delves, the body is still worth preserving. I adore that kind dichotomy. We are none of us so big for our britches that we can swipe away the qualia of our entire birth nation. Really, there can be no true negation by a native: he will always be a product. Goncharev knows this.

Oblamov is also a bit more than a dissection of individual and collective consciousness. It is also a riotous satire, a Massala of humour, so understated and elegant, its ephemeral in its delicacy. The scene with the arrival of a letter at Oblomovo surely must, must, rate as one of the virtuoso moments in literature, of any epoch.

Oblamov is also a bit more than a dissection of individual and collective consciousness and (take a deep breath) a riotous satire. Its a philosophical treatise on the meaning of life, and non so more touched me as Olga Segeivna. There is perhaps no other literary character I have come across so far who portrays my own conundrums and fears as she does; and its immensely comforting to see that I am not alone in the penumbra.

What a book. Really.

Un libro de fino humor. Las escenas entre Oblomov y su mayordomo son geniales y, guardando las distancias, me recuerdan a las de Jeeves y Bertram Wooster del magistral Wodehouse. Ya saben, un cl谩sico ruso de los que hay que leer, no porque sea un cl谩sico, no porque sea ruso, solo por lo mucho que lo disfrutar谩n.

Oblomov, by Ivan Goncharov

The novel shows the conditions in Russia before a long time. A declining nobility, harassed by energetic citizens. The characters in the novel represent the people we meet in our daily lives. Busy Stolz, lazy Oblomov, obstinate servant Sachar, false Tarantjew. The book is both magical and tragic. It also offers funny parts. Anyone who can get used to occasionally somewhat outdated formulations will find a real treasure here. It麓s not only Oblomov that is remarkable here, but especially the design of Olga, which is plunged into a serious identity crisis as a result of her efforts to bring about Oblomov. In general, Goncharov's woman portrayal, his partisanship is extremely modern for her and one more reason to read this novel. It's really a classic. Very amusing with very fine humor. By the way, the book gets more and more exciting towards the end. So whoever keep going on it will be rewarded.

The novel was written between Russia's defeat in the Crimean War and the Emancipation of Serfs. Between two profound shocks to a society which had been drifting along inertly, yet with profound self confidence, in the rut dug out by Peter the Great ().

Oblomov is the eponymous central character of the novel (hero in this case would be an entirely inappropriate choice of words). He is characterised above all by a ponderousness that is almost immobility. Wrapped about in his great oriental dressing gown he is at once mountain like and passive. Open to be led on or exploited. The plot sees Oblomov pushed out of his repose and stirred into action only to see him return to indolent corpulence at the end. His sofa and dressing gown suggestive of oriental laziness and inefficiency .

This is then a novel about Russia on the eve of change. It can't continue as it has done, yet lacks the motivation to move on. The price though of not changing is colonisation and exploitation by the nimble.

The core of the book is the chapter "Oblomov's Dream" a vision of an unchanging life on the family's country estate. Warm, cosy, perpetually well fed. Stable. This dream is Oblomov's fixed point. Oblomov moves in a spiral around that point dragged out of his place from time to time but springing back as soon as it has the opportunity.

His name comes from Oblom': a cloud. His nature lacks decisiveness and drive but rather drifts cloud like in contradistinction to his childhood friend, the half Russian-half German Stolz (Pride) who instead demonstrates German vigour and resolve which comes over as being un-Russian. Stolz drives forward. At one point determined to 'save' his friend and drag him, more or less, kicking and screaming in to a different way of life, away from the oriental dressing gown, away from the sofa and the daily struggle to move across the room from one piece of furniture to another.

The nuance in the portrayal of the potentially horrific Oblomov comes from his immobility. If he can't to motivated to get up and go, equally he can't be blown about by the fickle winds of popular enthusiasm (he is not going to entertain the idea that some flavour of the month poet is better than ! ). He has cultural values that are immutable. This gives a strength to his otherwise unformed and unfocused life. Oblomov is never going to throw out the baby - but at the cost of forever keeping hold of the bathwater. As a result he is doomed to spiral downwards in ever tightening and restricting cycles towards an ultimate still point. His dream, a nightmare for others. The heavy symbolism of a country in need of change to remain a leading power in the world, is entirely intentional . Goncharov's Mendalian answer is that you need to cross Russian 'soul', by which is meant an emotional and poetic state of being, with German efficiency and drive in a mixture of 3:1, depending on where you stand on the spectrum of Russian nationalism you may find that optimistic, pessimistic, or entirely misguided.

Life, and life only, and of course life does not follow logic, it has its own strange ways, keeps telling us in all the possible ways that there is a (big) difference between the male mind and the female mind, and their functioning is different, same as true polars. Although spiritually they are exactly the same, physiologically they are poles apart, and function in different ways. [for example, man is more physical and more extrovert than woman; the woman is more psychological and more introvert. Or, when a man and a woman are in deep, loving embrace, the woman immediately closes her eyes. He remains more or less an outsider, a spectator. He is more interested in watching than in being in it. The woman is more concerned with her inner being, what is happening there. Hence, for women their real interest is in their inner processes. These differences are so great that they make for different life-styles]

One thing that struck me greatly was to find out that men are happier being married than not because when they are not married they simply feel lonely. So, even if the marriage is miserable, it is better than to be lonely; at least there is something to keep you occupied. Misery also keeps you occupied and man always wants to remain occupied 鈥� something on the outside so that he need not go in, so he can keep his eyes open. On the other side, the woman is not so interested in the outside, so when a woman is unmarried she feels more alone than lonely. And she can enjoy her aloneness better than a man because she is more inner-directed 鈥� she is more selfish, but in a very positive meaning, she is self-centered. The man is other-centered; he is constantly thinking of others. The woman is thinking more about herself. At the most, she remains interested in the neighborhood 鈥� who is fooling around with whom. Hence, she can remain alone in a more healthy way than man; he feels very lonely. He has to know what is happening in the whole world. Even in his aloneness he will create some imaginary beings 鈥� God, angels 鈥� and imaginary problems: How many angels can stand on the point of a needle? And he will be really into the problem; he will waste his whole life counting the angels, and he will argue to no end! The woman simply laughs (well, I do laugh too 馃槈). The woman deep down knows boys are just boys 鈥� let them talk! They call it philosophy, theology 鈥� they are very skillful in giving great names to things. So, paradoxically the woman can be more happy alone than married, because she can make herself rooted without the man; the man is not such a great need. [and yes, there is a great need to be a mother in a woman, but there is no great need to be a wife.] She can be more independent than the man 鈥� she IS more independent. And, just because the woman is more independent, down the ages man has tried to make her dependent in other ways 鈥� economically, socially. Naturally, she is more independent and that hurts the man (his ego), so he has tried to make her dependent in some way (artificial dependence). Economically she has been paralyzed, she has to depend on man. This is a consolation for man: if he depends on her, she also depends on him. It is a compensation and a consolation. Politically, socially, she has been thrown out of the society (btw, nowadays even the company I am working for realized that it鈥檚 high time they should allow more women to take places in the middle and higher management鈥ell, at least some change of perspective in the communication style鈥�). Well, something that made me ponder over is that, perhaps, that鈥檚 why she looks more beautiful 鈥� her beauty has roots in her physiological balance.
Eventually, each man and each woman needs a great education about it 鈥� that they are different; their physiologies are different, their psychologies are different, and they have to understand each other鈥檚 psychology, each other鈥檚 physiology. They have to be taught. And, as the author clearly emphasized, 鈥滾ove is a most difficult school of life!鈥�

Once upon a time I was a Stolz, but days and years passed by, many of them it seems so far, and I have realized that I am inclining towards growing into an Oblomov sort of type (I even bought myself a dressing-gown, of course not of Persian cloth, but Romanian made, still pretty comfortable, cosy and with a home-feel). My 鈥極blomov鈥� attitude is there for sure 2 days out of 7 - I feel, think and act as an original Oblomov. The other 5 days I am still perfectly adapted to Stolz model. I guess it鈥檚 in my nature too, I might be more masculine or male-oriented, although apparently and technically I am built to represent a feminine form and shape. Well, that can be misleading too, cannot it? 馃槈

I felt so much for Oblomov, he made me cry. Goodness! I didn鈥檛 know I could cry for such a male type. But I did. He truly didn鈥檛 deserve to waste his life like he did. What a pity!! I appreciated his inner struggle and intention to clear out the mental confusion. Despite his failure. Still that was so much worth it. 鈥漌hy am I like this? Oblomov asked himself almost with tears, hiding his head under the blanket again. Why?鈥� But what am I? Oblomov- and nothing more!鈥�

I do ask myself, too: Why am I like this? What am I? And, I do keep asking myself (well not so often, because my free time is less and less nowadays), but still I am not fully satisfied with the current answers. But again, I am so much 鈥渇ragmented鈥� 鈥� same like our darling hero, with dove-like tenderness, Oblomov. He is truly representing a fragmented man, like his name stands for.



Well, man 鈥� weak creature that he is, feels bewildered, and tries to find in his imagination, if mind cannot support or serve, the key to his own being and to the mysteries that encompass him. And, perhaps it was the everlasting quiet of a sleepy and stagnant life and the absence of movement and of any real terrors, adventures, and dangers that made man create amidst the real life another fantastic one where he might find amusement and true scope for his idle imagination or an explanation of ordinary events and the causes of the events outside the events themselves鈥�

Oblomov is being justified. In his house/home, in the countryside, everything there was imbued with the same primitive laziness, simplicity of customs, peace, and inertia. The child鈥檚 heart and mind had been filled with the scenes, pictures, and habits of that life long before he set eyes on his first book. And who can tell when the development of a child鈥檚 intellect begins? How can one trace the birth of the first ideas and impressions in a child鈥檚 mind? Perhaps when a child begins to talk, or even before it can talk or walk, but only gazes at everything with that dumb, intent look that seems blank to grown-ups, it already catches and perceives the meaning and the connexions of the events of his life, but is not able to tell it to himself or to others.

Later on, in his mature years, he does have an explanation, too.
鈥溾€f course, I dreamed, whispered hopes of the future, made plans, developed ideas and-feelings, too. It all died, and was never repeated again! And where did it all disappear to? Why has it become extinguished? I can鈥檛 understand! There were no storms or shocks in my life; I never lost anything; there is no load on my conscience: it is clear as glass; no blow has killed ambition in me, and goodness only knows why everything has been utterly wasted!鈥�

The only paragraph that puts a final conclusion is this one, which I keep returning once in a while, too:
鈥淭he trouble is that no devastating or redeeming fires have ever burnt in my life. It never was like a morning which gradually fills with light and colour and then turns, like other people鈥檚, into a blazing, hot day, when everything seethes and shimmers in the bright noonday sun, and then gradually grows paler and more subdued, fading naturally into the evening twilight. NO! MY life began by Flickering out. It may sound strange but it is so. From the very first moment I became conscious of myself, I felt that I was already flickering out. I began to flicker out over the writing of official papers at the office; I went on flickering out when I read truths in books which I did not know how to apply in life, when I sat with friends listening to rumours, gossip, jeering, spiteful, cold, and empty chatter, and watching friendships kept up by meetings that were without aim or affection; I was flickering out and wasting my energies with Minna on whom I spent more than half of my income, imagining that I loved her; I was flickering out at parties- on reception days, where I was welcomed with open arms as a fairly eligible young man; I was flickering out and wasting my life and mind on trifles moving from town to some country house, and from the country house to Gorokhovaya, etc etc 鈥� and life in general by lazy and comfortable somnolence like the rest鈥� Even ambition- what was it wasted on? To order clothes at a famous tailor鈥檚? To get an invitation to a famous house? To shake hands with Prince P.? And ambition is the salt of life! Where has it gone to? Either I have not understood this sort of life or it is utterly worthless; but I did not know of a better one. No one showed it to me. You (his childhood and youth long life friend Stolz) appeared and disappeared like a bright and swiftly moving comet, and I forgot it all and went on flickering out鈥�. 鈥�...

The End: A masterpiece of a book! A must read!

If Oblomov was Hamlet the famous soliloquy would have been 鈥淭o get off my arse or not to get off my arse, that is the question鈥� but actually there wouldn鈥檛 have been a soliloquy because Oblomov wouldn鈥檛 have bothered with anything hard like that. There would just be the sound of light snoring. Never do today what you can put off till a week on Friday, he says.

It鈥檚 a fact that Oblomov spends the first 160 pages of this novel in bed or, having made a herculean effort to heave his body across the room, in a chair. Yes, 160 pages describing one day.
So we have here a fat-ass do-nothing couch potato who being a member of the property owning class has an estate with 300 serfs whose job it is to do backbreaking work all year long so that at regular intervals Oblomov can get lots of lovely free money. The estate is 1000 miles away from Petersburg and Oblomov never visits it, are you kidding? 鈥� so he has no idea what goes on there, all he wants is the free money so he can continue to eat heartily and doze, eat heartily and doze, eat heartily and doze.

In the novel Oblomov has a little group of people around him who love him, and many readers of the novel seem to share their views that he鈥檚 admittedly useless but kind of cute, he looks dimwitted but really he鈥檚 intelligent, he has a heart of gold and a pure soul, he鈥檚 an angel in disguise. I didn鈥檛 buy any of that. This is a guy, this Oblomov, who never combs his own hair. His servant does that for him. And yet his best friend says

he had no less intelligence than other people, only it was sleeping idly, hidden, covered over by all sorts of rubbish. Would you like me to tell you why he is dear to you, what it is in him that you still love? 鈥�. You love that in him which is worth more than any amount of intelligence: his honest, faithful heart! It is like pure gold in him from nature; he has preserved it throughout his life unharmed. He sank under difficulties, grew cold, dropped asleep, and finally, crushed and disappointed, lost the strength to live, but he has not lost his faith and honesty. His heart has never struck a single false note and nothing has sullied it鈥�. Oblomov will never worship false idols and his soul will always be pure, honest, good. . . . His soul is clear as crystal; there aren鈥檛 many men like him, they are rare ; they are like pearls among the crowd.

Sorry, no. He鈥檚 an enemy of the people is what he is, along with the rest of his class of leeches. He's an infantilised man who bats his puppydog helpless eyes at his friends and servants and they scurry about making sure he has enough larks tongues and champagne for his supper. As far as I was concerned, if he fell down an abandoned salt mine and died horribly it would have been no great loss.

Ivan Goncharov wrote a great novel about a guy who drives you into spasms of irritation. Not only that but it鈥檚 about this annoying guy not doing things. So there is no plot to speak about in these 500 pages. And yet Oblomov is great. It is also true that Mr Goncharov could have done with an editor to tell him to chop out some really dull philosophising about marriage or another ten pages about meals being prepared

鈥淧ickled cabbage and salmon,鈥� she said. 鈥樷€楾here isn鈥檛 any sturgeon to be had: I鈥檝e been to all the shops and my brother asked for it, but there isn鈥檛 any. Only, perhaps, if a live sturgeon is caught鈥� a merchant from the Karetny Ryad has ordered one 鈥� the fishmonger promised to cut us some of it. Then there is veal and fried corn-meal.鈥�

And yet in spite of all of these awkwardnesses and imperfections, this is a great novel. The hideous damaging life-withering vampirism that is Oblomov鈥檚 life is a steady dead-eyed devastating hatchet-job on Russian society as it was before the serfs got liberated. Along the way, Goncharev lobs in one liners

Cunning is like small coin with which one cannot buy much.

And brilliant page-long soft-voiced denunciations 鈥� here he is on the idle rich :

her thorough knowledge of house-keeping and of all home comforts, was for him the incarnate ideal of a life of boundless and unruffled repose, the picture of which had been indelibly stamped on his mind in childhood, under the parental roof. His father, his grandfather, the children, the grandchildren, the visitors, sat or lay in restful idleness, knowing that there were in the house unsleeping eyes that watched over them and never-weary hands that sewed their clothes, gave them food and drink, dressed them, put them to bed, and closed their eyes when they were dead; and now Oblomov, sitting still on the sofa, saw something quick and lively moving for his benefit, and knew that the sun might not rise to-morrow, whirlwinds might hide the sky, a storm might sweep the world, but his soup and roast would be on the table, his linen would be fresh and clean, the cobwebs would be taken off the wall, and he would not know how it was all done; that before he had taken the trouble to think of what he wanted it would be guessed and placed before him 鈥� not rudely and lazily, but by clean, white hands and arms bare to the elbow, with a cheerful and gentle glance and a smile of profound devotion.

Like Carl Douglas with "Kung Fu Fighting" or the Baha Men with "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Ivan Goncharov was a one hit wonder. His first novel is no longer read and his third and last, The Precipice (820 pages), is described by the translator here as "cumbersome and drearily tiresome". But Oblomov is, mostly, sharp, devastating and funny.

I remember reading some years ago about a category of modern Japanese men called, in English transliteration, Hikikomori. They are unable to cope with life and have become ultra-reclusive, rarely leaving even their bedrooms, let alone going outside. Thinking about it, I imagine such people have always been with us and in olden times were those known as hermits. You might say that Oblomov is a similar type of personality. He is though lucky enough to have been born into the aristocracy, so an inherited income from his country estate allows him to live with a degree of comfort.

Oblomov is the great procrastinator. I suppose many of us have a tendency to procrastinate - I certainly do - but Oblomov is a true master. His lawyer and his starosta write constantly to tell him his estate is falling into rack and ruin. He reads the letters and ignores them, other than to tell people he is developing plans for the reform of the estate. He actually spends all day in bed, dozing or lolling about.

Poor Oblomov has a fear of life. He is a gentle and kind soul but the pressures of everyday life are too much for him. A natural pessimist, his reaction is to try and hide and to live in a Fool鈥檚 Paradise. In the first part of the book there are two long 鈥渄ream sequences鈥� during which Oblomov dreams of his youth. These are used to provide the reader with an explanation for his personality.

As a contrast to Oblomov we have his best friend Stoltz, an ethnic German whose father was Oblomov鈥檚 schoolteacher. Stoltz is an efficient, decisive man but a loyal friend to Oblomov. He introduces him to a young woman, Olga, and between them the two try to bring Oblomov back into the world. I liked the way Olga鈥檚 personality is developed during the book.

This isn鈥檛 really a plot driven novel, just a study of the lives of the main characters, but Oblomov will be an indelible character for me. I think most readers will feel a great sympathy for his plight.

I understand that the novel gave rise to an entire concept of 鈥淥blomovism鈥�.

A slow, sad poem weaving through to an end that is left revealed to the reader from the beginning. To read this book is like watching the waves on a lonely beach, you know what will happen next, but it is beautiful to just sit and watch...

But, maybe it is best to let the book describe its own message? -

Yes; such is the payment exacted for the Promethean fire. You must not only endure, you must even love and respect, the sorrow and the doubts and the self-questionings of which you have spoken: for they constitute the excess, the luxury, of life, and show themselves most when happiness is at its zenith, and has alloyed with it no gross desires. Such troubles are powerless to spring to birth amid life which is ordinary and everyday; they cannot touch the individual who is forced to endure hardship and want. That is why the bulk of the crowd goes on its way without ever experiencing the cloud of doubt, the pain of self-questioning. To him or to her, however, who voluntarily goes to meet those difficulties they become welcome guests, not a scourge.

description

Jest, jest. Do拧li su posljednji dani, usta膰e narod na narod, carstvo na carstvo, nasta膰e propast svijeta.

膶esto imu膰niji ljudi, da ne ka啪em aristokrate, kad se ve膰 govori o ovom romanu - 啪ive 啪ivotom koji popri拧te svog postojanja nalaze u letargi膷nosti i unutra拧njem spokojnom uzbu膽enju. Nepokretnost, nadra啪aji izazvani dreme啪om i apatijom predstavljaju u膷estalu sliku njihovog, pa i 啪ivota glavnog junaka ove knjige. Sve to predstavlja metaforu kraha feudalnog sistema. Sopstvena zapu拧tenost generi拧e zapu拧tenost imanja u vidu nakupljenog blata, pukotina, vlage i sli膷nog. 沤ivot Ilje Ilji膷a je prije svega unutra拧nje, du拧evne prirode, poput 拧ume u kojoj sve divlja, dok je spolja stati膷na. Njegova volja je paralizovana za sve ono 拧to dolazi spolja dok mu pri膷injava zadovoljstvo za sve ono iznutra. On se kanio da zapo膷ne novi 啪ivot bez obzira na njegovo stanje i okolini u kojoj se nalazi. Sanjao je o slici svoje budu膰nosti, ali kako su godine prolazile djeli膰i te slike su po膷eli blijediti; svaki put se nalazio novi razlog za popravljanje ili izmjenjivanje te slike. Gon膷arov zapa啪a sljede膰e: ,,Rus i danas, kad ga okru啪ava ozbiljna stvarnost u kojoj nema izmi拧ljotine, voli vjerovati primamljivim gatkama iz starine, i mo啪e biti ne膰e se jo拧 dugo otresti tog vjerovanja.鈥� Sva lijenost i tromost koja je neminovno sklona entropiji, iziskuje 啪rtvu koja 膰e joj titrati. Gon膷arov ovdje pru啪a lakonski humor i ironiju, jer i nepokretnog i 啪rtvu na kraju 膷eka ista svije膰a. On ne pravi veliki raskorak izme膽u tromog i 啪rtve, naprotiv, 啪rtva je u obmani, ubije膽ena da ne postoji druga膷ije. Pojavljiva膰e se likovi koji 膰e poku拧ati da izlije膷e Oblomov拧tinu, kao 拧to su 艩tolc 膷ije njema膷ko porijeklo predstavlja karakternu distinkciju, i Olga Sergejevna koja ljubavlju svojom poku拧ava da probudi i pokrene Oblomovljev 啪ivot. Me膽utim, Oblomova vi拧e podsti膷u raspolo啪enja, nego doga膽aji. Krevet 膰e biti jedno idealno mjesto za takva raspolo啪enja.

I think this might be my favorite novel, at least think this might be the most perfect novel I have ever read. Yet, I am not surprised that this novel is not as popular as other Russian classics. Its merit and preciousness lie in its subtleties. This book has no sudden outbursts of emotion, no unbelievable plot twists, and that is precisely why it is so brilliant. The emotional and intellectual depth of this novel is something that one seldom encounters, but one is able to see that only when one gets past the superficial stereotypes surrounding this novel.
This novel is packed in layers with social commentary, humour, and philosophy, and one has to look past one layer to see the other. "Oblomov! Isn't that the novel about the lazy rich nobleman?" It seems so, but that is not the point. It seems to me that the people who regard this novel as a warning against laziness and idleness fail to grasp the full meaning of the work. When I saw Lenin's supposed remark about how "the Oblomovs should be whipped", I couldn't help thinking that maybe he too, didn't quite get it. Whipping Oblomov wouldn't do any good at all.
To me this book is mostly about the question of "what is one to do with oneself?" or "how does one live?" and "for what?", "Who and what should we value in our lives?" . Beneath the supposed laziness of Oblomov lies the dilemma of his entire existence which he does not know how to resolve. Eventually this lack of resolution in his life, leads Oblomov into not quite a depression, but to a strange type of anhedonia, which is temporary lifted by certain people and events, but which ultimately remains with him until the end.
The other part of this work which is subtle and profound is the discussion between Stolz and Oblomov as respective representatives of German and Russian culture. Stolz is seemingly the model man, yet he is unable to answer Oblomov's simple question of why he works as much as he does, and for what purpose? Perhaps the point is that Stolz is never still enough to have an existential crisis, and is proof that if we stay just busy enough to not think seriously about our lives, we'll glide our way through one way or another.
I think this work captures every aspect of the Russian attitude, intellect, emotion, soul, and lifestyle from the most superficial level to the very deep.
I do not think this novel would appeal to everyone, however, I still think it is a literary masterpiece for all times.

Finish Powerball brilla meno di Goncarov

Ho sprecato almeno dieci minuti della mezz'ora che ho a disposizione all'internet-caff猫, a inventarmi un titolo accattivante per questa recensione. All'inizio avevo pensato a Oblomoviglioso, poi ho alzato lo sguardo e i miei occhi si sono posati sui bicchieri fumanti che la banconiera toglieva dalla lavastoviglie con mani in apparenza ignifughe. E TA-DAAA... il plagio dello spot pubblicitario si era ormai compiuto.

Adesso viene la parte difficile: tener desta la vostra attenzione, sempre che il paragone col brillantante l'abbia effettivamente catturata.

Ci貌 che mi muove a volervi convincere, non 猫 solo la grandiosit脿 di questo romanzo, ma 猫 soprattutto la profonda indignazione nel veder dimenticato il nome di Goncarov nel firmamento letterario. Contemporaneo di Turgenev e Dostoevskij, ospite del loro stesso mecenate, frequentatore dei loro stessi salotti, a detta loro persino 鈥渃onversatore brillante, spiritoso e autoironico鈥�, ha scritto la sua prima importante opera (Storia comune), a soli 33 anni. Quasi la stessa et脿 della lettrice che in questo momento sta cercando i ridare prestigio all'illustre autore, mentre ordina il secondo caff猫 ristretto della giornata.

Eppure tra i celebri letterati russi, per non so quale conventio ad excludendum, Goncarov viene citato poco e niente. Sgomento assoluto!!

(In pratica sarebbe come fare un elenco dei recensionisti indecentemente frivoli, e non citare me! Sgomento inaudito!!)

In Oblomov, ci貌 che conta non 猫 l'ambiente ma l'atmosfera, non 猫 la staticit脿 dei fatti, ma l'inossidabilit脿 di certi meccanismi dell'anima che suonano pi霉 attuali di quelli che potete vedere in una puntata di 鈥淭he Mentalist鈥�.

Il'j脿 Oblomov 猫 un uomo che ha fatto dell'apatia uno stile di vita; attorno al suo modus vivendi gravitano personaggi che alla fine della storia vi sembreranno 鈥渄i casa鈥�. E proprio perch茅 鈥渇amiliari鈥� vi permetterete di giudicarli. E di trarne delle conclusioni.

Le mie sono le seguenti. E siccome personali, sono ovviamente anche soggettive.

1)鈥滳hi si assomiglia si piglia鈥�. I poli opposti si attrarranno pure, ma alla fine il meno si sposa col meno e il pi霉 col pi霉.
2)E' inutile girarci attorno: noi donne, abbiamo indubbiamente un certo istinto materno, e possiamo anche divertirci a fare le crocerossine in qualche imprecisato periodo della nostra vita, ma chi seguiremmo in capo al mondo non 猫 il 鈥渟ensibilone鈥� di turno, ma l'uomo pratico e di polso che ci tiene per mano nelle peripezie quotidiane, ma all'occorrenza ci smuove, ci strattona (ho detto 鈥渟trattona鈥�, non 鈥渢ratta male鈥�, lungi da me alimentare il falso mito del 鈥淭eorema鈥� di Ferradini), ma soprattutto ci stimola. Allora ci sentiremo finalmente appagate, e siccome l'uomo di cui parlo non 猫 n茅 Indiana Jones,n茅 Robocop, avr脿 sicuramente anche lui le sue debolezze e la sua sensibilit脿 interiore, occasioni in cui potremo persino soddisfare il nostro istinto da chiocce.
In parole povere, possiamo anche avere memorabili storie con artisti, poeti, intellettuali, e aggiungerei anche i Nerd (che adesso van tanto di moda), ma quello che volgiamo inconsciamente e non, 猫 un uomo all'altezza delle rogne giornaliere, che davanti a un problema di gestione pratica, non vada in paranoia o si rifugi in elucubrazioni filosofiche, scaricandoci la patata bollente. Naturalmente il tutto va condito con l'aroma inebriante della moderazione. Gli estremismi si sa, in amore come nel carattere non vanno mai bene.

3)Tutti quanti abbiamo vissuto un periodo in cui abbiamo perso tempo a 鈥渢racciare l'arabesco della nostra vita鈥� senza per貌 muovere un dito per dargli una forma compiuta. Comunque presto o tardi, nel bene o nel male, ci siamo mossi e scrollati l'inerzia di dosso.
Guardiamo a questo banale momento come a un successo e rallegriamocene. C'猫 chi non si muove, o non ha la forza di farlo, e si condanna a vivere come una pallottola di pasta arrotolata.
Si chiama Oblomovismo.

Adesso mi direte che non vi ho parlato del libro, ma quale miglior motivo potevo darvi per leggerlo, se non quello che qualunque testo vi porti a fare delle riflessioni sul vostro modo di vivere, 猫 un'opera ben riuscita?

E non vi ho neanche parlato della rarit脿 dei cuori nobili. Ma questo lo scoprirete da soli, qualora decidiate di accompagnare Il'j脿 nel suo piccolo mondo antico.

Ah, un'ultima cosa. Le prime 100 pagine servono da preselezione per scremare il pubblico paziente da quello che vuole tutto e subito. Superato il dubbio di esservi immersi nella lettura di un testo teatrale, dove i personaggi entrano in scena uno dopo l'altro al centro del palcoscenico, potrete sprofondare nella poltrona e godervi lo spettacolo, perch茅 da quel momento in poi... silenzio! Parla Oblomov.

How we choose to live our lives is a fundamental question for each human being, regardless of the resources at our disposal or the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Will we be a force for good, kind, curious, active? Will we lollygag around, get by doing as little as we can, hide from our responsibilities or obligations? These are the questions Goncharov raises in Oblomov. He gives us two men - Ilya Ilyich Oblomov and Andrei Ivanovich Stoltz - who are good friends but complete opposites in all things except both are deeply good and decent.

The story is primarily about Ilya, the eponymous protagonist, considered the apotheosis of the Russian lit "superfluous man" archetype. This is a young man, usually educated and wealthy, but without aim or purpose, unable to successfully engage in life or with those around him. In this case, our superfluous man is benign - Ilya is trusting and good-natured and loveable, with a "dovelike tenderness" that endears him to those who look for good qualities in the people around them.

Like all good 19th century Russian writers (haha), Goncharov packs in a lot of big ideas, such as class and gender, master and servant, education and culture, us vs. them-ism (e.g. Russian vs European, urban vs rural, etc.), goodness and criminality, into a phenomenal literary work with a deeply moving story. He also creates a portrait of marriage that is one of my favorites in all literature.

A re-read 35 years apart. Well worth a revisit.

this was yet another emotional, heart shattering and devastating russian classic that teaches many great lessons... it left me emptily staring at the wall after finishing the story (in the best possible way)
totally in need of time to process everything, W.O.W

鈥淥h my gosh! Life just won't leave me alone.鈥�
I debated for a long time whether to give this a 3 or 4 star rating (yes, I know, my rating scale is low) but the further I got from the end of reading this book, the more I became convinced that only 4 stars could do justice to it. No, this is not a perfect novel, it even contains some fundamental weaknesses, but I can't help it, in the end Ilya Ilich Oblomov's tragicomic character captivated me. Even more than Prince Myshkin, Dostoyevsky's Idiot, he managed to convince me of his sincerity, truthfulness, and pure heart. The latter sounds very pathetic, I know, but apparently I have enough sentimental romanticism in me for people like Ilya Ilich to break my heart.

I am not going to analyze this book too much, that has been done so many times, with and without expertise. What particularly charmed me is that our poor Oblomov realizes all too well that he is an aberration, that his inherent lethargy has no place, especially in a society (Russia in the first half of the 19th century) that is undergoing rapid change. I was constantly struck by the passages in which Oblomov laments his fate and says he does not know who he really is, and why he is the way he is.
At the same time, he knows how to pinpoint the new, modern society that is about to dawn, to expose the emptiness of busy, industrious existence: 鈥淭he perpetual running to and fro, the perpetual play of petty desires, especially greed , people trying to spoil things for others, the tittle-tattle, the gossip, the slights, the way they look you up and down. You listen to what they're talking about and it makes your head spin. It's stupefying... It's tedium. Tedium! Where is the human being in this? Where is his integrity? Where did it go? How did it get exchanged for all this pettiness?鈥�

And I know it all too well: what Oblomov offers as alternative, his permanent inertia, is so unrealistic and even immoral (his friend Stolz rubs it in hard). But at the same time, Oblomov's representation of the ideal life touches me: 鈥淎fter that, I put on a roomy coat or jacket, put my arm around my wife's waist, and she and I take a stroll down the endless, dark all茅e, walking quietly, thoughtfully, silent or thinking out loud, daydreaming, counting my minutes of happiness like the beating of a pulse, listening to my heart beat and sink, seeking sympathy in nature, and before we know it we come out on a stream and field . The river is lapping a little, ears of grain are waving in the breeze, and it's hot. We get into the boat and my wife steers us, barely lifting her oar.鈥�
Goncharov, through Oblomov, has perfectly succeeded in exposing the splits of modern man: the nervous drive towards constant change and improvement as opposed to the childish yearning for simplicity, security and bliss. 4 stars, well deserved.

PS. I read Maria Schwartz's English translation (2008), based on the 1862 version edited by Gontsharov himself, which is far preferable to the 1859 original.

O kadar b眉y眉k ve do臒ru yaz谋lm谋艧 bir eser ki. 陌莽inde o kadar b眉y眉k ve isabetli tespitler var ki.

Sigmund Freud'dan 枚nce, freudyen 莽谋kar谋mlarda bulunma ba艧ar谋s谋n谋 bile g枚sterebilen bir roman.

Asla 眉艧enge莽lik, tembellik falan anlatt谋臒谋 yok, zaten bu herkesin malumu. Oblomov'un "Oblomov" olmas谋ndaki sebep, taa 莽ocuklu臒unda yat谋yor. Ailesinin hatalar谋, a艧谋r谋 koruyucu kollay谋c谋 tav谋rlar谋, vurdumduymazl谋klar谋; 陌lya 陌lyi莽'in ki艧isel 莽ekingen ve kibar yap谋s谋yla da birle艧ince, ortaya sosyal fobik, depresif (hatta manik depresif), amans谋z romantik, bipolar bir karakter 莽谋kar谋yor. Tembellik, erteleme hastal谋臒谋, hep bunlar谋n bir semptomu haline geliyor.

Hi莽bir 艧eyi kendisi yapmam谋艧, kendisi ba艧armam谋艧 birisi 陌lya 陌lyi莽. 25 ya艧谋na dek ailesiyle ya艧am谋艧. Onlar 枚l眉nce de tek ba艧谋na, yapayaln谋z kalm谋艧. Uzun s眉re aranmayan sevilen arkada艧larla aran谋n ister istemez a莽谋lmas谋 gibi, hayatla olan ba臒lar谋 iyice esnemi艧, sonunda kendisini karanl谋k odas谋na hapsetmi艧. 脟眉nk眉 oras谋 g眉venli, s谋cak, gams谋z, 莽枚z眉lmesi gereken problemlerden tamamen uzak. Tamamen antiagorafobik.

Zaten her 艧ey, Oblomov'un evinden ta艧谋nmas谋 zorunlulu臒uyla ba艧l谋yor. Hayata hi莽bir 艧ekilde haz谋rlanmam谋艧 birisi, deyim yerindeyse kendisini 莽谋r谋l莽谋plak sokakta buluyor. En 枚nemlisi ise sonra geliyor: Can dostu sayesinde zoraki tan谋艧t谋臒谋 Olga'ya 芒艧谋k oluyor, oysa Oblomov bu a艧ka da hi莽 haz谋r de臒il. Belki de kar艧谋s谋na kim 莽谋ksa 芒艧谋k olacakt谋. "Awakenings" filmindeki gibi, k谋sa s眉reli bir uyan谋艧 ya艧谋yor Oblomov, bu uyan谋艧谋n kendisini de, ara莽 de臒il, ama莽 olarak kulland谋臒谋 i莽in, tekrar uykuya dal谋yor.

Sonunda her 艧ey beklenen noktaya var谋yor elbette, "oblomovluk", Oblomov'un yakas谋n谋 b谋rakm谋yor zira. Oblomov ise bundan her zaman 艧ikayet莽i, bundan her zaman kurtulmak iste臒inde olsa da (ki asl谋nda bu da, hep ba艧kalar谋ndan beklenen bir istek, zira kendisinin kurtulmaya da takati yok), hayat谋n谋n son deminde kendisiyle tam anlam谋yla bar谋艧谋yor. huzuru, ger莽ek ya艧ama tercih ediyor ve huzurlu ama ezik bir bi莽imde yok olup gidiyor.

Oblomov'u su莽layabilir miyiz? Hi莽 sanm谋yorum. Ya艧anan hi莽bir 艧eyde Oblomov'un hatas谋 yok. Oblomov'dan ba艧ka bir 艧ey beklenemezdi. T眉m 莽ocuklu臒u, ergenli臒i, onu bu ka莽谋n谋lmaz noktaya kadar getirdi. Ger莽ekten en az su莽lu olan 陌lya 陌lyi莽'tir; hele de ailenin, bir 莽ocu臒un karakterini 艧ekillendirme g眉c眉 d眉艧眉n眉l眉rse.

陌艧in psikolojik y枚n眉nden toplumsal y枚n眉ne kayarsak da, ortaya bu kez "Selim I艧谋k" de臒il, "Z眉臒眉rt A臒a" 莽谋k谋yor. Yeni ile eski aras谋nda s谋k谋艧谋p kalm谋艧; yeniyi isteyen, oradaki sosyal stat眉 ve g眉zelliklere i莽 莽ekerek bakan; ancak orada nas谋l ya艧anaca臒谋n谋, nas谋l davran谋laca臒谋n谋 bilmedi臒i i莽in s眉rekli kaybeden, kaz谋klanan, 莽o臒u zaman da iyili臒inin kurban谋 olan bir adam. T谋pk谋 Yavuz Turgul'un t眉m karakterleri gibi, mahkum bir ya艧ant谋 i莽inde, hayal d眉nyas谋nda, eskiyle ba臒lar谋n谋 koparamam谋艧 birisi. Dolay谋s谋yla eski-yeni ayr谋m谋nda, romantik ve hayalperest Oblomov'un hayat谋n谋 bitirdi臒i nokta, yine rastlant谋 olmuyor.

Oblomov, hayat谋mda okudu臒um en m眉thi艧 eserlerden birisi.

Benvenuti nella Russia di fine '800. Mettetevi comodi, il buon Oblomov, ricco proprietario terriero e padrone di casa, tra uno sbadiglio e l'altro, vi far脿 accomodare e vi render脿 partecipi della sua particolare filosofia di vita.
Oblomov 猫 il re dei pigri e degli apatici. Da lui nasce il termine oblomovismo riferito a quella classe nobile russa dell'Ottocento incapace di creare e sviluppare e del tutto imprigionata nella decadenza.

"Per dodici anni in me 猫 stata rinchiusa una luce che cercava una via d'uscita, ma bruciava soltanto la sua prigione, non ha saputo liberarsi e si 猫 spenta".

"Eppure l'amor proprio 猫 il sale della vita! Dove se n'猫 andato? O questa vita io non l'ho compresa, o essa non serve a niente, e una migliore non l'ho vista n猫 conosciuta, nessuno me l'ha mostrata".


La felicit脿 del suo vivere 猫 racchiusa nei suoi ricordi di bambino, nelle consuetudini della sua infanzia felice. Immagine utopica che persevera e sogna sdraiato comodamente sul suo letto vivendo beato di rendita.
Per lui la fiaba si 猫 confusa con la vita, e talvolta inconsciamente si rattrista che la fiaba non sia la vita, e la vita non sia fiaba. Oblomov 猫 un poeta della vita, perch猫 la vita 猫 poesia. Colpa degli uomini se l'hanno snaturata.

"Restare tristemente a casa iperprotetto come un fiore esotico in serra, e come il fiore tenuto sotto vetro cresceva lentamente e stentatamente. Le energie che cercavano di manifestarsi si ripiegavano all'interno e sfiorivano, avvizzendo. Germoglio di generazioni vissute nobilmente e inevitabilmente nella mollezza, fra broccati, velluti e trine."

In alcuni momenti, sospinto da altri, come il suo migliore amico o la sua amata Ol'ga, dimostra attimi di chiara consapevolezza e sano rimprovero della coscienza. Brevi momenti, tristi e toccanti, che l'ingenuo Oblomov, dal cuore grande a cui 猫 impossibile voler male, elemento appassito della societ脿 a cui appartiene, 猫 incapace di affrontare con determinazione e del tutto incapace di scrollarsi di dosso quel torpore che diventa sempre pi霉 pesante e lo spegne giorno dopo giorno.

Ammetto che un terzo del romanzo 猫 da applausi scroscianti, dove i temi dell'apatia, del quieto vivere, della noia e la visione della realt脿 del tempo in cui 猫 ambientata, hanno riscosso il mio pieno gradimento, cos矛 come lo sviluppo certosino e magistrale di tutte le personalit脿 coinvolte.
Negli altri due terzi la storia aim猫 si sviluppa esclusivamente sul rapporto amoroso tra il buon Oblomov e la giovane Ol'ga, in un continuo tira e molla, dove gli infiniti dubbi dell'indeciso Oblomov mi hanno stremato. Non sono un lettore di romance, anzi credo di non averne nessuno tra i miei libri, quindi magari non sono la persona adatta a giudicare questa parte che per me rimane troppo lunga e a tratti noiosa ed ha determinato purtroppo il mio giudizio finale. Mi sento comunque di consigliarlo a chi non ha questi limiti.

Un romanzo molto raccontato, figlio del suo tempo e per questo va accettato cos矛 com'猫, con le sue caratteristiche stilistiche e le peculiarit脿 sociali del tempo.
Goncharov non basa il racconto sull'azione, ma sull'introspezione e sui temi che riguardano la societ脿 del suo tempo, stanca e stagnante, ormai sull'orlo del prossimo inevitabilmente cambiamento. Un'esperienza tuttavia positiva che ripeter貌 con altri classici russi.

-------------------------
Welcome to Russia at the end of the 19th century. Make yourselves comfortable, the good Oblomov, rich landowner and landlord, between one yawn and another, will make you sit down and make you participate in his particular philosophy of life.
Oblomov is the king of the lazy and apathetic. From him was born the term Oblomovism referring to that Russian noble class of the nineteenth century incapable of creating and developing and completely imprisoned in decadence.

"For twelve years a light was locked up in me that was looking for a way out, but only his prison was burning, it was unable to free itself and was extinguished".

"And yet self-love is the spice of life! Where has it gone? Either I have not understood this life, or it is of no use, and I have not seen or known a better one, no one can tell me 'showed.


The happiness of his life is contained in his childhood memories, in the habits of his happy childhood. Utopian image that perseveres and dreams lying comfortably on his bed, living happily on an income.
For him the fairy tale has become confused with life, and sometimes he unconsciously feels sad that the fairy tale is not life, and life is not a fairy tale. Oblomov is a poet of life, because life is poetry. It's the fault of men if they distorted it.

"Sadly staying at home overprotected like an exotic flower in a greenhouse, and like the flower kept under glass it grew slowly and with difficulty. The energies that tried to manifest themselves folded inwards and withered away, withering. Sprout of generations lived nobly and inevitably in softness, among brocades, velvets and lace."

In some moments, pushed by others, such as his best friend or his beloved Olga, he demonstrates moments of clear awareness and healthy reproach of conscience. Brief moments, sad and touching, which the naive Oblomov, with a big heart that it is impossible to love, a withered element of the society to which he belongs, is incapable of facing with determination and completely incapable of shaking off that torpor that always becomes heavier and turns it off day after day.

I admit that a third of the novel deserves thunderous applause, where the themes of apathy, quiet living, boredom and the vision of the reality of the time in which it is set have received my full approval, as well as the painstaking and masterful development of all the personalities involved.
In the other two thirds the story alas develops exclusively on the love relationship between the good Oblomov and the young Olga, in a continuous push and pull, where the infinite doubts of the undecided Oblomov exhausted me. I'm not a romance reader, in fact I don't think I have any among my books, so maybe I'm not the right person to judge this part which for me remains too long and at times boring and unfortunately determined my final judgement. However, I would recommend it to those who do not have these limitations.

A much-told novel, a child of his time and for this reason it must be accepted as it is, with its stylistic characteristics and the social peculiarities of the time.
Goncharov does not base the story on action, but on introspection and on the themes that concern the society of his time, tired and stagnant, now on the brink of the next inevitable change. However, a positive experience that he will repeat with other Russian classics.
