Super Short Summary

Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov centers on Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a young nobleman whose chronic indecision and lethargy prevent him from taking significant action in life, causing him to spend much of his time in bed. His friends, including the industrious Andrey Stolz, attempt to rouse him from his inactivity, but Oblomov remains stuck in his ways, reflecting themes of social change and the ennui of the Russian gentry.
