Ivan Gontcharoff is best known for his second novel, Oblomov. One
might say, only known, but, while his output was small, he did
write two other novels, some short stories and some travel pieces.
A Common Story was his first novel, published in 1847. It opens
with its hero, Alexandr Fedoritch asleep. Its plot concerns his
departure from the countryside to St Petersburg to pursue a
bureaucratic career and his mother trying to prevent him, pointing
out the superior qualities of the countryside. The title of the
novel is a reference to the time-honoured psychological tension
between son and mother. Many of the themes Gontcharoff developed
more fully in Oblomov are first seen here.
