Description

ATSEEL honor for best interpretation into English, 2008Even although Ivan Goncharov authored many publications which were widely-read and reviewed during his lifetime, today he's remembered for one fresh, Oblomov, printed in 1859. An undeniable classic of Russian literature, the creative prominence and social need for which can be compared simply to other such projects as Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. Stephen Gemis new interpretation -- the very first significant english language book of Oblomov in significantly more than fifty years -- works exceptionally to expose this amazing and charming book into a new generation of visitors.
