This book gripped me like an oblong hotdog shaped water balloon, made all that water swell up in my head, in the form of rage. Oblomov had me on my knees like a tennis player who just won Wimbledon, except I lost, because they called the ball out. That doesn't make sense. Oblomov I mean is real. We all know at least two real-life Oblomovs. You can probably give them the book to read, but that would be like giving a blind person a mirror.

This book made me chuckle out loud on many occasions. Oblomov is so easy to relate to. Maybe I'm just lazy though...

قبل از اینکه شروع به خوندن رمان بکنم نظرات بقیه رو اینجا خوندم و دیدم همه از خسته کننده بودنش شکایت می‌کنند و با یه دید منفی و ترس و لرزی رفتم سمتش... اما موقعی که شروع کردم به خوندن نتونستم جلوی خودم رو بگیرم و پشت سر هم خوندم و شاید این طبع من باشه که از رمان‌های کند روسی لذت می‌بره...
آبلوموف که یه شخصیت تنبل و ایده‌آلیست بدون عمله یه جورایی حس می‌کنم به درصدهایی کمتر تو وجود هممون هست... و همینطور شتولتسی هم وجود داره که تو همون وجودمون با آبلوموف‌مون می‌جنگه و شاید اگه باخت یه الگا بتونه نجاتمون بده... شخصیت الگا هم بود که من رو به شدت یاد ناتاشای جنگ و صلح و آگلایای ابله می‌انداخت. هر چند که سعی می‌کنک کمتر کتاب تو قفسه‌ی مورد علاقه‌هام بذارم تا خاص‌تر بمونه اما آبلوموف توی اون قفسه جا می‌گیره.

another book from school years that i had to read. sooo long, a little boring in the start, but once you get near the middle of the book — you start FEELING it. my professor gave such an amazing analysis of how Oblomov is a hyperbolic face of conservative (liberal nobles) side and Stoltz is a materialists side of revolutionary Russia. just beautifully shown, great metaphors used from a robe to lilac branch to show that Olga and Oblomov’s love is doomed from the start.

Kann man auf jeden gut relaten

Ende bisschen enttäuschend
