Oblomov is cursed with a mixture of apathy, lethargy, and depression- something that can only be described as the disease of Oblomovka. His condition manifests itself in comical but gradually serious scenarios.
The plot of the book might seem uneventful whilst reading, but once you reach the last page and contemplate what you have just read, you realize that the moral behind the story weighs plenty in terms of significance.
Goncharov has a firm understanding of the impact of childhood in an adult's life, which is even more remarkable considering when this novel was actually written. The novel explores three other themes: friendship, love, and life as a noble. These three themes, needless to say, have Oblomov as their central character and expand according to how he deals with other people.
Overall, this is one of the best Russian literary works that I've read, and I highly recommend it.
