Обломов

Обломов explores a man's inner life and his lack of drive. This classic novel pairs close study of its hero's mind with gentle humour and a lyrical tone.

The book has sparked debate over how to read its hero. Some see his apathy as a sign of Russia's resistance to change. Others see a study of Russian character and values that stand against the rush of progress. This paperback edition has cover art by ParaCosm (Настя Калюжная).
