Oblomov
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: No dust jacket. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
At the heart of this enduring 19th-century masterpiece lies Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a nobleman whose paralyzing apathy and profound indolence render him unable to leave his bed, let alone navigate the complexities of Russian society. As the archetype of the "superfluous man," Oblomov exists in a state of suspended animation, retreating from the demands of his estate and the expectations of his peers into a world of reverie and comfort. His internal struggle—or lack thereof—is contrasted sharply against the vitality of his friend Stolz and the earnest hopes of the woman he loves, creating a poignant and often humorous examination of the clash between dreams and reality.
