Northwestern/AATSEEL Critical Companions to Russian Literature: Goncharov's Oblomov

Meer over het boek

No other novel has been used to describe the "Russian mentality" or "Russian soul" as frequently as Goncharov's Oblomov, first published in 1859. This guide will enable readers to appreciate fully both the remarkable talent of this Russian writer and his masterpiece. The contributors to this volume begin from the premise that perhaps more than any other Russian writer of the nineteenth century, Goncharov needs rereadings and reevaluations.
