"Oblomov": a brief summary of the novel. A man useless to society

This image has long become a household name - Oblomov, the landowner, who was held back by invincible laziness. The summary of the novel Goncharova introduces us to him, still a young man of 32-33 years. This amazingly solid, psychologically accurate, finished image was created by the writer for ten years. A man with a "pigeon's soul," Oblomov passed through life as he swept, - absolutely passive, inactive. Let us consider the summary of Oblomov by parts.

Part I. Introduction to Oblomov - a bachelor

Once upon a time the prominent house in Gorokhovaya Street is dilapidated, and the servant Zakhar, who in principle loves his master, is also lazy to an extreme. Oblomov owns 350 souls in the village of Oblomovka, but he is not engaged in farming at all, and the clerk ungodly steals it. At the beginning of the book, Oblomov is quite a young man. After a few attempts to get a job, he decided that Petersburg was indifferent to his talents and spiritual qualities. The environment for him looks meaningless, vain. All the summary of Oblomov Goncharov - the main character's flying in the clouds of his own fantasies.

Friends of youth - Volkov, Sudbinsky, Penkin are trying to stir up the idle, interest in secular entertainment, but in vain. The Dodger and the businessman Mihei Andreevich Tarantyev offers Ilya Ilyich a bargain, tackling Oblomovka's economy, but also can not overcome his passivity.

Part II. Lost hope - to lose the shackles of laziness

But still one man manages to "push" the lazy person. To him comes a friend of youth Andrew Stolz. By origin he is the son of a German steward and a Russian educated woman. By nature - active and active. He is creative and in demand by society.

Stolz decides to interest a friend by going with him to visit various homes. In the house of the Elias, when Olga heard Olga singing, Oblomov felt in her heart in love. The brief content of the novel further tells us about Ilya Ilyich's insolvent, gradually fading attempts to get closer to the woman she liked.

Even before the servant of Zahar, this impulse of the internal energy coming from Stolz comes to this. The servant settles his life by marrying the kind and economic Anisya.

Stolz triumphs, but he realizes that it is not enough to arouse interest in another's life. It should be further encouraged to engage in conscious professional activity.

An active German tries to persuade a friend to leave the summer house in Petersburg, the business heart of the Russian Empire, to start a new life. However, Oblomov is unable to make a decision, change his life. Olga is disappointed, Stolz's intentions fail.

Part III. The bird got in a cage

After a failed attempt to properly arrange a life, for which it is necessary to show activity, he naturally falls into the "friendly" embrace of scammers who welcome his lack of initiative. Mikhei Andreevich says convincingly: "To settle matters by serfs, it is simply necessary that Oblomov himself be present there." The summary of the novel goes on to tell a trivial story of how Tarantyev, along with Ivan Matveyevich Mukhoyarov, surround an unlucky loafer, acquainting himself with Mukhoyarov's sister Agafia Pshenitsyna. She is also a simple, simple peasant woman, a wonderful hostess. Suddenly Agafia herself feels that she fell in love with Oblomov. Her dinners please the Goncharovsky landlord, who no longer needs anything in life! Olga Ilyinskaya, on the other hand, came to Ilya Ilyich, was disappointed - everything was extinguished in his soul. She's leaving forever.

The landlord marries Agafya Pshenitsyna. They have Andriush's son.

Part IV. The death of Oblomov. Help a friend of the deceased's family

And life goes on. Olga Ilyinskaya gradually becomes imbued with sympathy for Andrei Stolts. He also likes an educated and dynamic woman. They get married and live happily.

Oblomov is finally becoming "unbearable", living in Oblomovka, which Ivan Matveyevich Mukhoyarov has unnoticed for him. Loving Agafia Matveyevna takes care of him. His life is like a fairy tale. But Ilya Ilyich is seriously ill. When Andrew Stolz comes to see him, he is already at death's door. Take care of his son Andryusha - this last wish was expressed to a friend Oblomov. The brief content of the novel tells us that the son of the deceased is actually taken to foster the wife Stoltsy. Impractical and something like Ilya Ilyich his good soul Agafia becomes out of work in the former house of her husband. Here the wife of Mukhojarova - Irina Panteleevna runs the order. The widow is immensely grateful to Stolz for her son's upbringing, she longs for the late husband, considering him an illumination of her whole life: as if the heart was first inserted into the chest and then taken out. But best of all about Oblomov his friend Andrew Stoltz said, somehow explaining to Olga, for which she loved the landowner - for a kind golden heart, which is more expensive than reason.
