Oblomov: New Translation by Ivan Goncharov
New, award-winning translation of Goncharov's popular masterpiece Rich in situational comedy, psychological complexity and social satire, Oblomov - here presented in Stephen Pearl's award-winning translation, the first major English-language version of the novel in more than fifty years - is a timeless novel and a monument to human idleness.
Pearl's approach is more adventurous than that of his predecessorsHis text flows naturally, capturing Goncharov's carefully modulated tone, the gentleness of his humour, and the colloquial flavour of his dialogue…Stephen Pearl has indeed caught the very essence of Oblomov. * TLS *
