"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 bound by invincible laziness. The summary of Goncharov's novel acquaints us with 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.
