Product Information

Isä Aleksandr Ivanovitš Gontšarov (1754-1819) ja äiti Avdotja Matvejevna Šaktorina (1785-1851) kuuluivat varakkaaseen kauppiasluokkaan. Isä kuoli kun Ivan oli seitsemänvuotias ja hänen kasvatuksestaan alkoi huolehtia kummisetä, eläkkeellä oleva merimies Nikolai Nikolajevitš Tregubov. Gontšarov sai peruskoulutuksensa kotona ensin Tregubovin valvonnassa ja sitten yksityisessä sisäoppilaitoksessa Arkhangelskoje-Repjovkan kylässä. Kymmenenvuotiaana hänet lähetettiin Moskovaan opiskelemaan kaupalliseen kouluun, jossa hänen vanhempi veljensä Nikolai oli jo opiskellut. Gontšarov vietti koulussa kahdeksan vuotta 1822-1830. Vaikka koulutus ei juuri kiinnostanut häntä, hänen nimensä sijoitettiin säännöllisesti koulun kunniataululle. [2] [3] Oblomov: Romaani. (Oblomov, 1859.)

A moderate conservative [12] at heart, Goncharov greeted the Emancipation reform of 1861, embraced the well-publicized notion of the government's readiness to "be at the helm of [social] progress", and found himself in opposition to the revolutionary democrats. In the summer of 1862 he became an editor of Severnaya Potchta (The Northern Post), an official newspaper of the Interior Ministry, and a year later returned to the censorship committee.

Oblomov's Dream. An Episode from an Unfinished Novel", short story, later Chapter 9 in the 1859 novel as "Oblomov's Dream" ("Сон Обломова", 1849) [21] Agafia Pshenitsina is Oblomov's widowed landlady, who falls in love with him and holds him in high regard as a nobleman. She is also Ivan Matveyevich's sister. At the end of the story, it is revealed to Stoltz that Oblomov and Agafia are married with a son. Her heart was thumping with fear and when she spoke her lines to Spike, who lay in bed, he replied "Who are you?" Meanwhile, in the play, Oblomov's friends hoped to entice him out of his melancholy through the power of love.Wallace, Nathaniel. 2016.

Some years after settling into Agafia’s house, he has a debilitating stroke, and another year later, a fatal one. His doctor blames his inactivity and heavy lunches, and so does Goncharov: “His perpetual rest, perpetual silence, and lazy crawl from one day to the next quietly stopped the machine of his life.” Goncsarov tizenkét éven át írta a regényt – többek között Belinszkij biztatására – miközben sokáig vezető állami hivatalnokként dolgozott. A regény végül 1859-ben jelent meg.

Oblomov, of course, recoils from doing work for any reason at all. But Stolz introduces him to a young woman, Olga, who makes it her mission to reform Oblomov’s sloth. Oblomov falls in love. He and Olga spend an enchanted summer strolling the grounds of her family’s country house. Under her influence, Oblomov gives up his naps and reads improving books. They agree to marry. He taught me how to have fun and made me realise you don't have to accept what is handed out to you in life. Cohn, Elisha. 2015. Still Life: Suspended Development in the Victorian Novel. Oxford: Oxford University Press.What is remarkable about Oblomov’s fate is how close he comes, through little effort of his own, to realizing his dream of perfect placidity. After he loses Olga, he turns his eye to the widow who keeps his lodgings, Agafia Matveyevna, a marvelously efficient housewife who makes delicious pastries. Goncharov likes to identify Agafia metonymically by her bare arms and especially her elbows, always in motion as she bustles about the kitchen and yard. Oblomov admires these industrious elbows; Agafia is happily joined to her labor in a way that he can never be:

[4] He was educated at a boarding school, then the Moscow College of Commerce, and finally at Moscow State University. After graduating, he served for a short time in the office of the Governor of Simbirsk, before moving to Saint Petersburg where he worked as government translator and private tutor, while publishing poetry and fiction in private almanacs. Goncharov's first novel, A Common Story, was published in Sovremennik in 1847. Harper, Kenneth E. 1983. Under the Influence of Oblomov.

His third and final novel, The Precipice, was published in Vestnik Evropy in 1869. He also worked as a literary and theatre critic. Towards the end of his life Goncharov wrote a memoir called An Uncommon Story, in which he accused his literary rivals, first and foremost Ivan Turgenev, of having plagiarized his works and prevented him from achieving European fame. The memoir was published in 1924. Fyodor Dostoevsky, among others, considered Goncharov an author of high stature.
