Un’esperienza che mi ha scavato nel profondo del cuore.Una delle migliori cose che io abbia mai letto in vita mia.
Ufficialmente diventato parte dei miei libri preferiti. Grazie Gončarov.
Non ti dimenticherò,caro Oblomov.

آبلوموف کتابی‌ست با یک موضوع بدیع، روایتی خطی و نسبتاً پرکشش. توصیفاتی که نوسینده دروصف (ظاهری و روحی) شخصیت‍‌ها بکار برده، دقیق و با جزئیات فراوان هستند. کتاب شروع جذابی داشت و رفته رفته خواننده را هرچه بیشتر در خود فرو می‌برد، اما ناگهان از آن شور وکشش اولیه درمیانه کتاب کاسته شد. هرچند خواننده در پس ذهن خود می‌کوشد راه نجاتی را برای آبلوموف ترسیم کند، اما گنجاروف بر این خیال خواننده نقش بطلان می‌کشد و بر اصول خود در معرفی آبلومویسم با توصیف سرنوشت دردناک و محتوم آبلوموف پافشاری می‌کند. منصفانه این بود که می‌شد امتیاز 4.5 به کتاب بدم ولی چون این امر امکان پذیر نبود به همان 4 اکتفا کردم. جمله آخر این کتاب یک اثر متاثر کننده و بی‌شک کم نظیر در ادبیات دنیاست.

Oblomov is a landowner without a purpose he struggles through his life trying to keep himself busy and fails to find a cause worth his while. Oblomov would start a game of chess and give it up because he could not see the endgame. Constantly struggling to survive he is a Kafka figure without the paranoia.

The amount of Very-Russian-Literature (VRL) moments were tolerable and well spaced out which made it more enjoyable. Oblomov was so impressively lazy and at times rather repulsive, that it made it hard at times to see his “dove-like” qualitie, Olga seemed to be laying it on a bit thick. Also,,,, Olga had a ~few~ moments where she seemed too ‘not like other girls’ but that was mostly when Stolz was thinking about her & it kinda went with the woman-bashing.
