Oblomov - Thryft
Oblomov - Thryft

Enticing portrait of paralyzing existential inertia.

"Oblomov" might resonate with you if you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's demands and chose to retreat inwardly. Goncharov’s work explores the mental and societal shackles that can lead to a state of lethargy, offering not just a story, but a mirror to our own moments of inertia. It's an intricate and beautifully written character study that also provides piercing insight into Russian society.

Description

"Estar tumbado no era para Oblómov una necesidad como lo es para el enfermo o para el que tiene sueño, ni una casualidad como para el que está cansado, ni siquiera un placer como para el perezoso: era su estado normal." (Iván A. Gonchárov). Sin moverse de su diván, enfundado en un raído batín asiático, el héroe de esta novela es la personificación perfecta de la indolencia y la inactividad. Heredero terrateniente, eterno ausente de una hacienda fraudulentamente administrada, con una malograda carrera en el funcionariado y un retraimiento temprano de la vida social, Oblómov conocerá de pronto, al cabo de los años y a instancias de su gran amigo, el emprendedor Shtolz, un extraño renacer, una misteriosa sacudida que por un momento le hará creer en la posibilidad de otra clase de vida, en la que asoman insospechadamente la confianza y el amor. Oblómov (1859) de Iván A. Goncharov es una de las obras centrales de la literatura rusa, una de las máximas ilustraciones del tipo del «hombre superfluo» que tanto
