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 Anyone who can get used to occasionally somewhat outdated formulations will find a real treasure here.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´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.

İԳٱٲ, for me Oblomov has been an synonym for boredom, which kept me from endeavouring the 800 pages. From your review, however, I take that I can be an intellectually entertaining lecture. Thank you.

Th..."Hi Peter, I also had the same concern,:))) dont worry it's a wonderful work that reflects human psychology in detail.
Hallo Intellecta,auch meine Bedenken hast Du mit der Rezension zerstreut. Ich zögerte bislang auch immer, mich dem Werk zu nähern, aber es scheint ja doch nicht die Eigenschaften seines Protagonisten zu teilen.

Hallo Tristram, oh das wollte ich gar nicht:))
Das Buch stand ganz lange ungelesen in meinem Regal, jetzt ärgere ich mich warum ich es nicht vorher gelesen habe...
Lieber spät als nie:)
