Part of the prestigious Studies in Modern European Literature and Thought series, this critical study presents a scholarly and penetrating examination of Ivan Goncharov, one of nineteenth-century Russia's most significant novelists. Janko Lavrin, a renowned scholar of Slavic literature, argues that Goncharov's work — most famously Oblomov — stands as a profound mirror of the Russian soul, capturing the tension between inertia and aspiration with remarkable psychological depth. With authoritative precision, Lavrin chronicles the arc of Goncharov's literary career, illuminating the social and cultural forces that shaped his writing. The result is an essential, compact volume that introduces English-language readers to one of world literature's most intriguing and underappreciated masters.
