{"product_id":"oblomov-9780300162288","title":"Oblomov","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet at the beginning of the nineteenth century  when idleness was still looked upon by Russias serf-owning rural gentry as a plausible and worthy goal  Ivan Goncharovs Oblomov follows the travails of an unlikely hero  a young aristocrat incapable of making a decision. Indolent  inattentive  incurious  given to daydreaming and procrastination  Oblomov clearly predates the ideal of the industrious modern man  yet he is impossible not to admire through Goncharovs masterful prose. Translator Marian Schwartz breathes new life into this Russian masterpiece in this  the first translation from the generally recognized definitive edition of the original  as well the first to attempt to replicate in English Goncharovs wry humor and all-embracing humanity. Replete with ingenious social satire and cutting criticism of nineteenth-century Russian society  this edition of Oblomov will introduce new readers to the novel that Leo Tolstoy praised as a truly great work  the likes of which one has not seen for a long  long time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666416263221,"sku":"ByrdShop_0300162286","price":39.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780300162288.jpg?v=1782431455","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/oblomov-9780300162288","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
