Summary
Ivan Gončarov: Oblomov
The novel "Oblomov" by Ivan Aleksandrovich Gončarov, published in 1859, achieved what is rarest in literature: the status of not only a superb literary achievement that testifies to its time, but also a work that established a diagnosis of a mental state, which was named Oblomovism after him.
What affected the hero of Goncharov's novel, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, it is a fatal combination of chronic lethargy, social parasitism, a feeling of boredom with the related futile thoughts about the meaninglessness of existence and the consequent absence of desire for true communication and any action. - even for life itself. Each of these symptoms in Oblomov is taken to the extreme, and he cannot find a valid reason to even get out of bed in the morning: "Ilya Ilyich did not need lying down, just as neither a sick person nor someone who is sleepy, like a tired man, nor did he enjoy being lazy, it was a normal state for him". critic described this type of literary heroes, to which Pushkin's Onegin, Lermontov's Pechorin or Turgenev's Rudin also belong in Russian literature. Defined in the first half of the 19th century as a simultaneous symptom of society in disintegration and the new sensibility of the emerging world, redundant people became and remain typical figures to this day. Oblomlje's reflection - at least partially and sometimes - can be recognized by many readers today, which is due to the timeless hypnotic suggestiveness of Ivan Gončarov's novel.
