关于此电子书
Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov's seminal work, "Oblomov," is an intricate exploration of idleness and societal inertia within 19th-century Russian aristocracy. The novel masterfully employs a blend of realism and psychological commentary, presenting the titular character, Ilya Oblomov, as a symbol of lethargy amidst a rapidly changing world. Goncharov's vivid prose and sharp wit illuminate the contradictions of Oblomov's life, trapped in the stasis of his comfortable existence while the world outside demands action and involvement, thus deftly capturing the essence of a bygone era's struggles with modernity. Goncharov, a contemporary of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, drew from his own experiences as a member of the Russian gentry, providing him profound insights into the disillusionment of the upper classes. His nuanced portrayal of Oblomov reflects his observations on the passivity that plagued societal elites of his time, influenced by a broader philosophical discourse on existentialism and the human condition. The author's background as a civil servant and his travels also shaped his understanding of the cultural tensions gripping Russia in the mid-19th century. "Oblomov" is highly recommended for readers interested in classic literature that delves into the complexities of self-identity and social commentary. This novel invites you to contemplate the balance between personal fulfillment and societal expectations, making it a profound and relatable exploration for anyone grappling with the nuances of modern life and the dichotomy of ambition versus complacency.
作者简介
Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov (1812–1891) was a significant Russian novelist and a quintessential figure of 19th-century Russian literature. Born in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk), Goncharov hailed from a merchant family and embarked upon a career in civil service after completing his education. However, his true legacy was solidified through his literary contributions. Goncharov's sharp observational skills and satirical flair are best encapsulated in his most renowned novel, 'Oblomov' (1859). The book introduces readers to its eponymous character, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, whose name has become synonymous with slothful inertia and complacency. In this novel, Goncharov not only crafts a comprehensive psychological portrait of his protagonist but also offers incisive social commentary, reflecting on the superfluous nobility of the Russian society of his time. Goncharov's literary style combines realism with profound philosophical introspections, allowing a meticulous exploration of the individual's place within the societal fabric. His writing is marked by a deep humanistic sensitivity as well as a subtle humor, elements that have contributed to his enduring legacy in literary circles. 'Oblomov' forms part of Goncharov's unofficial trilogy, preceded by 'A Common Story' (1847) and followed by 'The Precipice' (1869), which together showcase his evolution as a writer and intellectual. Despite not being as prolific as some of his contemporaries, Goncharov's works remain an essential touchstone in the study of Russian literature, particularly for their intricate characterizations and vivid depiction of 19th-century Russian life.
