À propos de cet e-book
In Ivan Goncharov's seminal work, "Oblomov," the reader is offered a poignant exploration of the life of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a man embodying the quintessential characteristics of Russian society in the 19th century. Goncharov employs a realist literary style, deftly interweaving humor and tragedy to dissect themes of inertia, social stagnation, and the struggle between dreams and reality. The narrative unfolds largely within the confines of Oblomov's apartment, a microcosm reflecting his profound lethargy and the existential dilemmas of aristocratic life. The book captures the zeitgeist of a rapidly evolving Russia, filled with characters that personify various societal responses to modernization and change. Ivan Goncharov, a prominent Russian writer, was influenced by his own experiences and observations of the changing socio-political landscape of Russia. Born into a landowning family, Goncharov's insights into the life of the aristocracy allowed him to critique their ennui established in the character of Oblomov. His background in the civil service also enriched his narrative with an understanding of bureaucratic inefficacy, which plays a subtle yet crucial role in the story's development. "Oblomov" is not just a novel; it is a mirror reflecting the fears and aspirations of a generation. For readers interested in Russian literature, social critique, or existential themes, it is an essential read that prompts deep reflection on the human condition. Goncharov's masterful storytelling invites engagement with the intricacies of life, encouraging readers to ponder their own forms of inertia.
À propos de l'auteur
Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891) was a notable Russian novelist of the 19th century, esteemed for his keen social and psychological insight. Born in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), Goncharov was educated at Moscow University before embarking on a career in civil service, which allowed him ample time to dedicate to his literary endeavors. He is best known for his novel 'Oblomov' (1859), a seminal work that not only gained him literary fame but also provided an archetype for Russian culture—the 'Oblomovshchina,' epitomizing the inertia and apathy of the Russian landed gentry. The protagonist, Il'ya Ilyich Oblomov, spends the majority of the novel in a state of existential paralysis, symbolizing the social and spiritual stagnancy that Goncharov perceived in the aristocracy of his time. 'Oblomov' embodies his literary style, characterized by its narrative depth, introspective focus, and realism, inspiring later writers and reflecting the complicated transition of Russia towards modernity. Goncharov's contribution to literature extended beyond 'Oblomov'; his travelogue 'The Frigate Pallada' and his other novels 'A Common Story' (1847) and 'The Precipice' (1869) also demonstrate his talent for contemplative exploration of character and society. Goncharov's oeuvre offers a rich depiction of the human spirit, as well as the cultural and historical milieu of Russia during his lifetime.
