Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov is a novel that follows the life of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a young man who spends his days in bed and avoids any sort of work or responsibility. Oblomov's laziness and lack of motivation lead him to miss out on opportunities in both his personal and professional life. The novel also explores themes of love, friendship, and the changing social landscape in Russia during the 19th century. Despite its slow pace and lack of action, Oblomov is considered a classic of Russian literature and a commentary on the human condition.
