A review by kiriamarin
Oblómov by Ivan Goncharov
"when he was at home - and he was almost always at home - he lay down all the time [...]"
2/4 of the story is about this aristocratic man,obese laying or sitting in his bed, thinking about plans,daydreams and procrastinating of things and whatever abstract in his life, nothing come to happen,a man of future that never come. Is now or never Oblomov? The context of story is all about the russian millieu and his superflous gentleman but shocking is a modern dilemmaof people of this time, so this is a tale of universal undertanding and a of course a classic.
Humans are more scared of life than death, gave us a mirror to see ourselves...
