"Oblomov": a summary of the novel. Man, useless to society

This image has long become a household name -the landowner Oblomov, bound and invincible by laziness. The summary of the novel by Goncharov introduces us to him, still a young man of 32-33 years old. This surprisingly integral, psychologically accurate, complete image was created by the writer for ten years. A man with a "pigeon soul", Oblomov went through life as he rolled - absolutely passive, inactive. Consider a summary of "Oblomov" in parts.

Part I. Meeting Oblomov - a bachelor

Once a prominent house in Gorokhovaya Streetdilapidated, and the servant Zakhar, in principle loving the owner, is also lazy to the utmost. Oblomov owns 350 souls in the village of Oblomovka, but does not do household work at all, and the clerk shamelessly rob him. At the beginning of the book Oblomov quite a young man. After short attempts to get a job, he decided that Petersburg was indifferent to his talents and spiritual qualities. The surrounding life for him looks meaningless, vain. The entire summary of Oblomov by Goncharov is the soaring of the main character in the clouds of his own fantasies.

Friends of youth - Volkov, Sudbinsky, Penkintrying to stir lezheboku, interested in secular entertainment, but in vain. The weasel and businessman Mihai Andreevich Tarantiev offers Ilya Ilyich a deal, engaging in the Oblomovka farm, but also cannot overcome his passivity.

Part II. Lost Hope - Drop the Shackles of Laziness

Still, one person manages to "push"lazy. A friend of his youth, Andrei Stolz, comes to him. By origin, he is the son of a German clerk and a Russian educated woman. By character - active and active. He is creative and demanded by society.

Stolz decides to interest a friend, starting withhim on a visit to various houses. In the Ilyinsky house, hearing Olga singing, love falls in the heart of Oblomov. The summary of the novel further tells us about the untenable, gradually fading attempts by Ilya Ilyich to get close to the woman she liked.

Even to the servant of Zakhar this impulse of internal energy coming from Stolz comes. A servant settles his life by marrying good and economic Anisya.

Stolz triumphs, but he realizes that it is still not enough to arouse a friend's interest in life. It should further push him to a conscious professional activity.

Active German is trying to convince a friend to leaveholiday home and in St. Petersburg, the business heart of the Russian Empire, start a new life. However, Oblomov is unable to make a decision to change his life. Olga is disappointed, Stolz’s intentions fail.

Part III. The bird got into the cage

After a failed attempt to properly equiplife, for which it is necessary to be active, he naturally falls into the "friendly" embraces of fraudsters who welcome his initiativelessness. Mihai Andreevich says convincingly: "To settle matters for the serfs, it is just necessary that Oblomov himself was present there." The summary of the novel further tells the banal story of how Tarantiev, together with Ivan Matveyevich Mukhoyarov, circle the hapless bum, acquainting with Mukhoyarov's sister Agafya Pshenitsyna. She is a simple-minded, simple peasant woman, a wonderful hostess. Suddenly Agafya herself feels that she has fallen in love with Oblomov. Her dinners appease the Goncharovsky landowner, who doesn't need anything more in his life! Olga Ilyinskaya, having arrived to Ilya Ilyich, is disappointed - everything has gone out in his soul. She leaves forever.

The landowner marries Agafya Pshenitsyna. They have a son, Andryusha.

Part IV. Death Oblomov. Help a friend of the deceased family

And life goes on. Olga Ilinskaya gradually becomes sympathetic to Andrei Stolz. He also has an educated and dynamic woman. They marry and live happily.

Oblomov finally becomes "very heavy",while living in Oblomovka, which Ivan Matveyevich Mukhoyarov took to his hands imperceptibly for him. Loving Agafya Matveevna takes care of him. His life resembles a fairy tale. But Ilya Ilyich is seriously ill. When Andrei Stolz comes to him, he is already dying. Take care of his son Andryusha - such a last desire expressed to a friend Oblomov. The summary of the novel tells us that indeed the wife of the Stolzians is taking away the son of the deceased. Impractical and somewhat like Ilya Ilyich his good soul Agafya becomes irrelevant in the former house of her husband. Here, Mukhoyarova’s wife, Irina Panteleevna, is in charge. The widow is immensely grateful to Stolz for raising her son, she longs for her late husband, considering him an insight of her whole life: as if the heart was first inserted into the chest, and then taken out. But his friend Andrei Shtolts said the best about Oblomov, somehow explaining to Olga, for which she loved the landowner — for a kind heart of gold that is more precious than reason.
