«Oblómov» is the novel in four parts by Russian writer Ivan A. Goncharov, published by Alba in paperback (644 pages, in Spanish).
Iliá Ilích Oblómov, a landowner devoted to idleness in Saint Petersburg, finds himself unable to face external obligations. His friend Shtolz introduces him to Olga, with whom he falls in love, to pull him out of inactivity. The novel, a satire of nineteenth-century Russian nobility, explores inertia and the search for meaning through the «superfluous man».
The translation is by Lydia Kúper de Velasco and the edition belongs to the Alba Clásica collection. The original Russian work was published in 1859.
For readers of classic fiction: one of the central works of nineteenth-century Russian literature, with a celebrated psychological portrait of its protagonist.
