About this listen
This novel centers on the figure of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a member of the dying class of the landed gentry, who spends most of his time lying in bed gazing at life in an apathetic daze, encouraged by his equally lazy servant Zakhar and routinely swindled by his acquaintances. But this torpid existence comes to an end when, spurred on by his crumbling finances, the love of a woman, and the reproaches of his friend, the hardworking Schtoltz, Oblomov finds that he must engage with the real world and face up to his commitments.

Abridged even though image says unabridged
Interesting and universal portrait of a flawed human being. At the same time funny and heartwrecking. Food for thought.

Fascinating insight into the human condition.
I came to read this at the recommendation of a friend.
It plods along at a near sedentary pace like the subject but within that the observation of life through his and the his friends eyes are interesting.
Given it was written 160 plus years ago I feel little has changed. Nihilism and depressed spirit existed then as now.

I don't think I'll bother
This is a 600 page novel so this must be an abridged version. Please make this clear audible
