Publisher's Synopsis
The novel specializes in the existence of the principle character, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. Oblomov is a member of the higher center elegance and the son of a member of Russia's nineteenth-century landed gentry. Oblomov's distinguishing feature is his slothful mind-set closer to existence. Oblomov increases this trait to an artwork form, carrying out his little day by day enterprise from his mattress.
