Status Updates From Oblomov

Leggetevi sta mina al posto della merda booktok

Iwan Iwanowitsch/Iwan Wassiljewitsch/Iwan Michailytsch/Iwanonow/Alexejew/Wassiljew oder Andrejew zu Ilja Iljitsch Oblomow:

"Ich hatte eigentlich nicht vor, heute zu Ihnen zu kommen aber ich traf unterwegs Owtschinin und der nahm mich mit. Ich komme um Sie abzuholen, Ilja Iljitsch."

“Oblomov is like a man who has just been watching a summer sunset and enjoying its crimson afterglow, unable to tear his eyes away from the sky and turn back to see the approaching night, thinking all the time of the return of light and warmth next day”

It seems Oblomovs friend Stolz is his polar opposite. Stolz is temperate, hard-working, and not particularly emotional. He lampoons Oblomov’s “Oblomovitis”: his ideal life of rest and relaxation with simple minded and virtuous people. Stolz, on the other hand, sees work as the meaning of his life. He also enjoys the parties and gossip and small talk of high society that Oblomov despises
