"Oblomov" Ivan Goncharov is a great Russian novel, which has become the deepest psychological and social study of the national soul. Creating the image of Ilya Ilya Oblomov, the writer gave the world literature not just an immortal character, but the whole socio-cultural phenomenon - a "blomovsky", which is still forcing every reader to look honestly on his own life. The main character is the young noble Ilya Oblomov, who lives in St. Petersburg. His days pass in absolute inaction, lies on the sofa in the old chalet. Ilya Ilic is not a foolish and endless good man with a pure, “crystal” soul, but any practical activity implies him horror. His ideal remains the immeasurable childhood in the native Oblomovka, where time seems to have stopped. The full opposite of the hero is his best friend Andrei Tholz - an energetic, practical and active man of the new generation, who tries to pull Oblomov out of the mental bull. The appearance in the life of Ilya passionate and intelligent Olga Ilinskaya, it would seem to do a miracle: Oblomov falls in love and wakes up to life. But can a fragile romantic dream overcome the many-year habit of peace, apathy and spiritual sleep? Goncharova managed to write a surprisingly thin, poetic and sad novel about the tragedy of the extinction of a beautiful, but absolutely not adapted to the reality of a human personality. Behind the eternal sofa and chalet is a deep drama about the loss of meaning of life, fear of the future and the collision of poetic contemplation with irresistible progress. About what the book in three words: Sofa, Love, Extinction. Who to read: Everyone who loves a deep psychological prose wants to understand the phenomenon of "Russian Lane" and seeks answers to eternal questions about finding the balance between action and inner peace.
