Surrounded by literary giants like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, Ivan Goncharov's masterpiece Oblomov can easily be forgotten. An intriguing, fairly comical novel that provokes questions on the ideal life, happiness, and changing one's nature. • Oblomov was a delightful, enlightening read and deserves a place among the other great Russian novels of the 19th century. Goncharov intertwines timeless questions of happiness, work-life balance, and love all into a tale following life of our uninspiring, affable hero Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. What on the surface appears to be a repetitive cycle of a man failing to change his ways turns out to be quite a complex story packed with lively characters. • What's your favorite Russian novel?
