The novel "Oblomov" by Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharovwritten in the period of serfdom, the society was rather mixed - landowners and peasants, nobility and noblemen, nobles and commoners. Those who did not have to take care of their daily bread could lie in bed until noon. So lucky was Oblomov Ilya Ilyich, still a young man, thirty-two years old. Oblomov's portrait feature will not be big at all: his face is pleasant, but his eyes are very much too quiet, neither sparkles, nor devils, this is at thirty-two years old. The whole body is soft, pampered, the hands are white and plump.
Having received from the deceased father and mother the estate and morethan three hundred serfs inherited, Ilya Ilyich settled in Petersburg, in the very center, in a spacious apartment. I did not go to the estate, it was very far away, and I didn’t want to. The elder began to charge all the business on the remote estate. At first everything went right, the incomes of the estate more than covered all the vital needs of the young landowner. But then the headman began to send letters with complaints of crop failure and other misfortunes. Money every year became less and less. It would have been clear to anyone that the manager is cunning and steals, and Oblomov did nothing, he believed, only complained that the drought dries the wheat in his fields. Brief description of Oblomov: gullibility in half with indifference to his own life.
Ilya Ilyich Oblomov lived in St. Petersburg eightyears without thinking about anything, he slept and dined, reluctantly got up from the couch, dressed with the help of his servant, the elderly Zakhar, who over the years became the owner as one unit. Oblomov’s characteristic would be incomplete without a description of an old servant. He was a grumpy, slightly thievish and remarkably stubborn man. He loved his master, but at the same time he didn’t miss a chance to beat his nerves. And since old Zakhar was also a fair inventor, today, let's say, he goes to the gate and tells everyone that his master is not sleeping for the third night, he runs to the widow, and he burns the other nights for the cards, and drinks incomprehensible.
А назавтра, у тех же ворот, уверяет всех, что the master of his women doesn’t remember him at all for three years, everything lies and sleeps, even if it hasn’t been in a card game. And what kind of a man, the guilt does not even want to see, not like a drink! Such was Zakhar. However, the harm from his fantasies was a little, everyone knew the talker himself, and how much was with him. Oblomov himself and the ear does not lead, anyway to him that "to the widow at night," that "lie and sleep." The second was closer to the truth, Ilya Ilyich slept endlessly. He was completely healthy if mother’s laziness was not considered a disease.
A characteristic of Oblomov for himselfappears unflattering. He was a languid, sedentary man, did not like too much anxiety. Although before moving to Petersburg, he led the life of an ordinary young man, not alien to simple joys. But gradually Oblomov became lazy and lost his taste for the movement, did not leave the house for years, he had a small circle of friends. Yes, and his friends, he did not put a penny. They will come as they are, they are slowing everyone down, get up, they say, Ilya Ilyich, we will go there, but we will go here. And if he gets out of bed, he will immediately lie back.
He was not interested in Oblomov, but he had a soulopen, and was ready to borrow new impressions from life, which is why Oblomov’s characteristic wins somewhat. He was sleepy, yes, but not drowsy. And once, looking at a tree outside the window, even experienced a shock, that's how the leaves live, bloom, and then fall. And every leaf is a part of the life of a tree, everyone is needed. So I Oblomov, like a leaflet, a part of life, is needed means. So he felt good from the awareness of his neediness, he began to cry even from happiness. And just at that moment Stoltz was in the room, the only person to whom Oblomov always dragged.
It's amazing, because Stolz, German forTo the origin, he was the direct opposite of Oblomov, had a businesslike character, was involved in near-state affairs, constantly traveled abroad with instructions from ministers, he led a healthy life and slept some nonsense, five to six hours a day. And on you, Stolz, with such glaring restlessness, was the “light in the window” for Ilya Ilyich. However, all attempts by Stolz to make Oblomov more active, to give him movement, successfully crashed on the sofa of Ilya Ilyich, already pressed through, but still strong. And here’s what else Oblomov’s characterization can be added to - he was stubborn.
And yet one day Stolz pulled out his friend onthe light of God and took to visit Ilyinsky, an old friend of ours. To listen to the divine singing of Olga Sergeevna Ilyinskaya, the daughter of the master of the house. Oblomov did not want any social events, and singing at home, all the more. But still listened to Olga singing and disappeared, fell in love. Then everything turned so that Olga loved him. And he again began to invent something, and ruined everything. Olga Sergeevna knocked, knocked on the closed doors of Oblomov’s soul, and left. After some time, became the wife of Stolz.
And Oblomov, a difficult Ilya Ilyich, moved toVyborg Side and settled with a certain widow, who turned out to be a very sincere and affectionate woman. Ilya Ilyich and married her. He lived for seven happy years and died overnight from a stroke, as the doctor predicted.
