Based on a novel by the Russian writer Ivan Goncharov, this
dramatic comedy features his eponymous hero, Oblomov. A young man
of considerable decency and kindness (with a "soul as clear as
crystal"), Oblomov has fallen into such a state of lethargy that he
resists even getting out of bed, finding every excuse possible to
do absolutely nothing. All the efforts of his male and female
friends to energize him ultimately fail in various hilarious ways.
Goncharov's character became so identifiable, so emblematic of a
particular subset of the upper classes, that it became a byword
(olbomovism) for self-imposed laziness and indolence.
