"Obyknovennaja istorija" - roman-debjut Ivana Aleksandrovicha Goncharova, opublikovannyj v 1847 godu v zhurnale "Sovremennik". Vechno aktualnyj sjuzhet o stolknovenii mechtanij, idealov, junosheskikh nadezhd s obydennostju, s tem, chto my skrepja serdtse nazyvaem pravdoj zhizni. Inogda "Obyknovennuju istoriju" obedinjajut v neformalnuju trilogiju s romanami "Oblomov" i "Obryv".

Roman Ivana Aleksandrovicha Goncharova (1812-1891) "Oblomov" (1859) - odno iz vazhnejshikh proizvedenij russkoj literatury XIX veka. On zatragivaet ostrye sotsialnye problemy togo vremeni: tjazhjoluju zhizn krepostnykh krestjan, len i prazdnost pomeschikov. Obraz glavnogo geroja - Ili Ilicha Oblomova - nastolko pravdivo i tochno otrazil rasprostranjonnyj tipazh russkogo dvorjanstva XIX veka, chto ponjatie "oblomovschina" srazu voshlo v obikhod. Kritik Nikolaj Dobroljubov dazhe utverzhdal, chto "oblomovschina" - "kljuch k razgadke mnogikh javlenij russkoj zhizni". Ilja Ilich Oblomov - barin tridtsati let, kotoromu uzhe vsjo naskuchilo, on apatichen i leniv, i ljubaja dejatelnost vyzyvaet u nego otvraschenie i skuku. Edinstvennoe, chto on delaet - lezhit na divane i dumaet. Vsja zhizn Oblomova prokhodit v mechtakh: to on vozomnit sebja velikim polkovodtsem, to voobrazit sebja zhenatym chelovekom, uvlekshimsja krasavitsej-krestjankoj... Odnazhdy k nemu priezzhaet drug Andrej Shtolts - polnaja protivopolozhnost bezdejatelnomu fantazjoru Oblomovu. Shtolts energichen i podvizhen, obladaet ostrym umom i siloj voli. Pytajas spasti tovarischa ot "vechnogo sna", Shtolts zastavljaet Oblomova ochnutsja i nachat zhit polnotsennoj zhiznju...

"Vospitanie chuvstv" po-russki. Odin iz samykh glubokikh i psikhologicheski tchnykh romanov russkogo realizma XIX veka. Odno iz luchshikh proizvedenij Goncharova. Istorija nesluchivshegosja schastja i neprostoj, zavedomo obrechennoj ljubvi. Istorija medlennoj i muchitelnoj libeli junosheskogo idealizma, ne sposobnogo perezhit stolknovenija s besposchadnoj realnostju. Vostorzhennyj i chistyj molodoj chelovek stanet umnym, preuspevajuschim konformistom, - vopros tolko v tom, skol doroguju tsenu pridetsja emu zaplatit ne tolko za uspekh, no i za zhitejskuju mudrost?..

"Oblomov" I. A. Goncharova (1812-1891) - odin iz samykh znachitelnykh i "do kontsa ne prochitannykh" romanov russkoj literatury XIX veka, kotoromu esche v 1859 g. L. N. Tolstoj predskazyval "uspekh ne sluchajnyj, ne s treskom, a zdorovyj, kapitalnyj i ne vremennyj v nastojaschej publike".

Ivan Goncharov was a Russian novelist who achieved literary fame later in life, after a career in the civil-service which spanned more than thirty years. His first novel, "A Common Story", was a definitive success and his notoriety was cemented with the publication of his second novel, "Oblomov", in 1850. Based on a short story written a year prior, "Oblomov" is about a cultured, intelligent, upper middle class man experiencing a mid-life crisis. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov has sunk into a lethargic stupor, which he calls "Oblomovism", and spends the majority of his time lying on the sofa or in bed. Goncharov portrays beautifully the process of Oblomov's decline, as well as its consequences, at first through flashbacks and then through the intervention of Andrey Stoltz, a man quite the opposite of Oblomov. The novel was revered for its brutal but honest representation of the slothfulness of the Russian gentry, and has become a timeless classic of Russian and psychological fiction. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of C. J. Hogarth.

This reader presents a shortened version of Goncharov's work 'Oblomov'. It tells the story of a beautiful, kind man who would like to change lots of things in his life but doesn't do anything about it. The text has been adapted for learners of Russian working at B2 level and contains comments on the text, exercises to check understanding, interesting facts about Goncharov's life and a short summary of the novel.

After his university studies and a short stint in the army and the civil service, thirty-something Boris Pavlovich Raisky enjoys the life of an artist, frequenting St Petersburg’s elegant circles, dabbing at his paintings, playing a little music and entertaining thoughts of writing a novel. But for a man like him, who has achieved nothing so far and by his own admission is “not born to work”, the bustle of the capital proves too much, so he decides to visit his country estate of Malinovka. There he hopes to rediscover the joys of a simpler and more authentic life – but when he becomes emotionally involved with his beautiful cousin Vera and meets the dangerous freethinker Mark Volokhov, the scene is set for a chain of events that will lead to disappointment, confrontation and, ultimately, tragedy. Conceived twenty years before its initial publication in 1869, and regarded by its author as his best work, Malinovka Heights (previously translated in English as The Precipice) is Goncharov’s crowning achievement as a novelist and a triumph of psychological insight. Here presented for the first time in unabridged form in a sparkling new translation by Stephen Pearl, Goncharov’s final novel deserves to be reassessed as one of the most important classics of nineteenth-century Russian literature.
