Oblomov (Audible Audio Edition): Ivan Goncharov, Leighton Pugh, Ukemi Audiobooks from W. F. Howes Ltd

Oblomov is a masterpiece of Russian literature that will transport you to another time and place.

This unforgettable character, Ilya Ilyitch Oblomov, is a member of the landed gentry living in Petersburg, but his life is far from extravagant or lavish.

Instead, he spends most of his days supine, in bed, content to let his dirty, grumbling servant Zahar attend to his every need.

Despite his idleness, Oblomov is visited by friends who see him as a bottomless financial source, but others, like the energetic Andrey Stolz, try to encourage him to shake off the spell of lassitude.

When the beautiful and attractive Olga enters the story, Oblomov is suddenly drawn from his cocoon, but will it last? This is Goncharov’s masterpiece, a skilled and imaginative work that puts him alongside the major figures of Russian literature.

Natalie Doddington’s unabridged translation remains highly respected and fluent, reflecting the gem of the original.
