Oblomov part 4 detailed summary.

A year has passed since Ilya Ilyich’s illness. The year brought many changes in the surrounding world, but in the house of the widow Pshenitsyna, everything “changed with such a slow gradualness with which geological modifications of our planet occur.” Attorney Zaterty went to the village and sent the money received from the sale of bread; he was unable to collect the quitrent, about which he sent a letter to Oblomov. But Oblomov was pleased with the amount sent and was glad that he did not have to go to the village himself. The house in the village is being rebuilt, and in the spring Oblomov can move to the estate. Anisya, whom Zakhar married, felt mutual arrangement to the hostess, and gradually the household of Oblomov and the widow merged together. Agafya Matvevna feels more and more affection for Oblomov, waits for him and worries when he spends a long time visiting or at the theater, during his illness she forced everyone to walk on tiptoe, and covered the room with carpets. Oka falls in love with Oblomov because “Ilya Ilyich did not walk like her late husband, college secretary Pshenitsyn, with petty business agility, does not constantly write papers, does not shake with fear that he will be late for his post, does not look at everyone as if he is asking saddle him and ride, but he looks at everyone and everything so boldly and freely, as if he demands submission to himself.” For her, he is a master, who has Zakhar and “three hundred other such Zakhars” in his service. Oblomov himself will pay attention to the widow and even offers to go with him to the village. Oblomov celebrates Midsummer Day with his household, eating and drinking. Suddenly Stolz arrives. He came for a week - “on business, then to the village, then to Kyiv, then God knows where.” Stolz informs Oblomov that Olga, after breaking up with Oblomov, went abroad, and by the fall she is going to her village, says that she knows about everything, that she will not leave Oblomov, she wants to stir him up, since Olga asked him about it - “so that Oblomov did not die at all, he was not buried alive.” Oblomov brags to Stoltz about how he arranged his affairs, that he sent an attorney to the village, and tells how much he now receives. Stolz just clasped his hands and exclaimed: “You’ve been robbed all around! You really are dead, lost.” Stolz says that he will arrange Oblomov’s affairs himself, and will lie to Olga that Oblomov misses her and remembers her.

The next day, Tarantyev and Ivan Matveyevich gather in a drinking establishment and complain that Stolz destroyed the power of attorney to conduct Zatertyy’s affairs, and he himself took Oblomov’s estate for rent, which, God forbid, he finds out that the quitrent was actually collected, and the money Tarantiev, Ivan Matveich and Zaterty divided among themselves. They decide to blackmail Oblomov about his relationship with Agafya Matvevna: demand a promissory note from him for ten thousand, otherwise they will sue him “for misbehavior.” They hope to extract money from him repeatedly in this way.

Even earlier, Stolz met Olga and her aunt by chance in Paris; he was surprised that Olga had changed a lot - from a girl she turned into a mature person. For six months, Stolz communicates with them, being surprised to discover more and more new amazing features in Olga. He still gives Olga books and notices that she is beginning to “outgrow” him. Stolz falls in love with Olga, is tormented whether she loves him or not, but does not notice the manifestation of feeling - a sudden blush, a flickering gaze. Olga thinks of him as a friend. She is also trying to sort out her feelings, “began to observe herself and discovered with horror that she was not only ashamed of her past novel, but also of the hero.” Finally, Stolz comes to Olga and admits that he loves her. Olga is indecisive, at first she refuses Stolz, he is going to leave forever, she holds him back. Stolz asks to tell you everything without concealment. After some hesitation, Olga admits that she was in love with Oblomov and talks in detail about everything that happened while Stolz was abroad. Stolz, having learned that the object of Olga’s passion is Oblomov, calms down and says that it was probably not real love. Olga shows Stolz Oblomov’s letter, Stolz points out lines in the letter that directly speak about this: “Your love is not real love, but future love. This is only an unconscious need to love, which, due to a lack of real food, is sometimes expressed in women in caresses for a child, another woman, or simply in tears or hysterical fits. You are mistaken. Before you is not the one you were waiting for, about whom you dreamed. Wait - he will come, and then you will wake up, you will be annoyed and ashamed of your mistake.” Olga feels better, she says that the whole past is “like a dream, as if nothing had happened.”

About a year and a half passes after Stolz’s arrival to Oblomov. Oblomov became even more flabby, his robe was even more worn out. The business conceived by Tarantyev and Ivan Matveyevich was a great success: at the first hint of “scandalous circumstances,” Oblomov gave the owner a loan letter, and now all the income he receives from Oblomovka, which is managed by Stolz, ends up in the pocket of Tarantyev and Ivan Matveyevich. They are trying to quickly siphon off Oblomov’s money so that they don’t have time to interfere, and Oblomov finds himself in very cramped circumstances. Agafya Matveevna takes pity on Oblomov and begins selling “pearls received as a dowry, a salop” to feed him. Oblomov finds out about this and, having received money from the village, gives it to her so that she can buy it all back.

Stolz arrives and sees Oblomov’s miserable life. Reports that he is married to Olga. Then, seeing that Oblomov has no money, he pins him against the wall, and Oblomov is forced to admit about the “loan letter.” Stolz immediately demands a receipt from Agafya Matzezna stating that Oblomov does not owe her anything; she, unable to withstand Stoltz’s pressure, signs.

A day later, Tarantiev and Ivan Matveevich meet in a drinking establishment and discuss in horror what Stolz has done. Ivan Matveyevich was summoned to the general and asked: “Is it true that you, together with some scoundrel, got the landowner Oblomov drunk and forced him to sign a loan letter?” However, the case does not come to court, since Stolz does not want to sully Oblomov’s name. But Ivan Matveevich loses his position. Stolz tries to take Oblomov away from the apartment, but he so pitifully begs to leave him “only for a month” that Stolz agrees, finally warning about the landlady: “A simple woman, a dirty life, a suffocating sphere of stupidity, rudeness.” Leaving.

The next day, Tarantiev comes to Oblomov, starts shouting at him, throwing mud at Stoltz. Oblomov, having weaned himself from such treatment during his friendship with the Ilyinskys, loses his self-control, slaps Tarantiev in the face and kicks him out of the house.

Stolz visited St. Petersburg only a few times over the following years; he and Olga settled in Odessa in their house, where they lived very happily. Olga was even surprised at such happiness, not understanding why it fell to her lot. Stolz is also “deeply happy with his full, exciting life, in which an unfading spring blossomed, and he jealously, actively, vigilantly cultivated, took care of and cherished it.” They remember Oblomov, Stolz says that they are going to St. Petersburg in the spring, Olga asks to take her to Oblomov.

Oblomov still lives with Agafya Matvevna, he “ate appetizingly and a lot, like in Oblomovka, walked and worked a little, also like in Oblomovka. Despite the growing summer, he blithely drank wine and currant vodka and slept more and more carelessly and slept for a long time after dinner.” One day he suffers a blow, but this time everything ends well.

One day Stolz comes to Oblomov. He does last try take Oblomov away, but he refuses, saying: “You know me and don’t ask me anymore.” Stolz says that Olga is waiting for him in the carriage, that Oblomov can see her. Oblomov resolutely refuses, sends Stolz out, asks to leave him forever, admits that the hostess is his wife, and her youngest child- his son, named Andrei in honor of Stolz. Stolz returns to Olga, she wants to enter the house, but Stolz does not let her in, and when asked what is there, he answers in one word: “Oblomovism.”

One day, walking along the street with his literary friend (Goncharov), Stolz sees Zakhar in the crowd of beggars. Zakhar says that he tried several times to enter the service, but did not fit in anywhere and ended up begging. The writer asks who he is, and Stolz tells the story of Zakhar and Ilya Ilyich Oblomov.

Let's fast forward to before Stolz's arrival to Oblomov. One day in Paris, walking along the boulevard, Stolz met Olga and her aunt. The change in Olga amazed him. And not her physical development, but her pallor, the absence of a childish smile on her lips, with which she had always met and listened to him before; there was no former naivety and carelessness in her.

Stolz asked questions, Olga answered somewhat reluctantly and absent-mindedly. To his question how Oblomov was doing and why he didn’t write, his aunt replied that he was ill and that Lately didn't come.

The Ilyinskys lived for six months in Paris. Their only interlocutor was Stolz. Olga gradually began to come to her senses, but Stolz still did not understand what made her grow up so quickly. In the spring they all went to Switzerland. Stolz already realized then that he could not live without Olga. However, he had to decide whether Olga could live without him.

Sometimes it seemed to him that he caught something similar to love in Olga’s gaze, but the next moment, with her calmness and indifference (as it seemed to him), she made him think differently. And he fell into thought.

Olga understood perfectly well what was going on in Stolz’s soul, and she liked him endlessly, but she could not admit that she loved him - then what was her love for Ilya Ilyich? No, she didn’t have love for Stolz, she decided, and there couldn’t be love - she already had love, but they love only once.

Olga was afraid that if Stolz found out about her past, he would begin to despise her, consider her insignificant, weak, petty. As a result, she became ashamed not only of her past, but also of the hero... As for Stolz, he decided not to be tormented by doubts anymore, but to immediately talk with Olga and clarify their relationship once and for all.

One evening, having seated her in a chair opposite him, Stolz began with the main thing - he confessed his love to her. Olga was in terrible excitement. She asked him to leave and never see her, but when he was about to leave, she stopped him. Seeing how Olga was suffering, planning to tell him about her past, Stolz decided to help her. He said that, apparently, Olga loved. The girl confirmed this with silence. Stolz seemed to smell of horror, but when he found out that the subject of Olga’s hobby was Oblomov, he immediately cheered up. He asked her to tell about everything in detail, and she openly told everything, even about the lilac branch.

After confession, Olga expected severe condemnation, but this did not happen. Stolz explained what happened to her then, using Oblomov’s words from his letter. He said that this love was only Olga’s unconscious need for love, which, not finding a worthy object, fell upon Oblomov. How easy it is now for Olga! Only now did she realize that what Oblomov wrote to her about was true.

Stolz invited Olga to marry him. She said in excitement that she couldn’t do it yet, but she was happy. Stolz was also happy.

Part I

Chapter I

On Gorokhovaya Street, in one of the apartments, a man of about 30–35 years old was lying in bed, of pleasant appearance with dark gray eyes- this is a nobleman, landowner Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. He is wearing his favorite oriental robe, which is “soft, flexible; the body does not feel it on itself; he, like an obedient slave, submits to the slightest movement of the body.” Ilya Ilyich has not been able to get out of bed for an hour now - he is too lazy. From time to time he calls Zakhar (servant) and gives him some instructions (find a letter, a scarf, asks if the water is ready to wash).

Oblomov at first does not seem to notice the mess in the apartment, but then begins to find fault with the servant for the garbage. But his comments are not sought desired result– Zakhar confidently defends the idea that no matter how much you sweep, garbage will still appear, so you don’t have to clean it thoroughly. He reminds the nobleman about unpaid bills to the butcher, laundress, baker and that they need to move out of the apartment - the owner is marrying his son and wants to combine two apartments for the wedding.

Chapter II

After 11, visitors come to Oblomov. Volkov came first. He looked around the room for a long time, hoping to find at least one clean corner to sit down, but in the end he remained standing. He invites Ilya Ilyich for a walk, but he is too lazy.

After his friend leaves, he sighs sympathetically - Volkov has a lot of things to do - such a hectic life upsets Oblomov. Then Sudbinsky comes. “Work from eight o’clock to twelve, from twelve to five, and at home too - oh, oh!” - Oblomov analyzes his life. It was not possible to stir up the main character; he steadfastly does not agree to any activities other than lying on the bed. The next visitor was Penkin. From the threshold, Ilya shouts to him: “Don’t come, don’t come: you’re coming from the cold!” He asks whether Oblomov has read his article and, having received a negative answer, promises to send him the magazine. “Write at night,” thought Oblomov, “when can I sleep? And hey, he’ll earn five thousand a year! This is bread! - Ilya Ilyich sighs. After him Alekseev arrived. Oblomov shares the unpleasant news with him: Oblomov’s estate is unprofitable (2 thousand losses).

Chapter III

The noise was heard again - it was fellow countryman Mikhei Andreevich Tarantiev who had arrived. He was “a man of a lively and cunning mind.” Worked in the office. Communication with him, in fact as with Alekseev, has a pacifying effect on Oblomov. Tarantiev knows how to entertain Ilya Ilyich and get him out of a state of boredom. Alekseev is an excellent listener. He does not bother Oblomov with unnecessary comments and suggestions, and can spend hours in his office unnoticed.

Chapter IV

Tarantyev joins Alekseev in talking about Oblomov’s problems and advises him to move in with his godfather. She is a widower, she has three children, but the most important thing is that she has the opportunity to stir up Oblomov and restore order “after all, now it’s bad to sit at your table.” “Your elder is a swindler,” Tarantiev pronounces his verdict and advises changing it. Oblomov can’t make up his mind – he doesn’t want to change anything.

Chapter V

During the life of his parents, Oblomov lived well, despite the fact that his income was less and he had to be content with less. He was full of aspirations, which often remained dreams, but he still looked more alive than he does now.

We present to your attention summary novel by Ivan Goncharov the main point which is the fight against life crises.

After the death of his parents, his income increased sharply, he rented a larger house and hired a cook.
Oblomov is disgusted by any type of activity. “When will we live?” he asks. In society, at first he enjoyed great success with women, but he himself was never captivated by one.

Chapter VI

Ilya Ilyich never has enough willpower to do something or finish what he started.

Training disgusted him; he considered it a punishment “sent from heaven for our sins.” Only Stolz could stir him up, but even then not for long.

The condition of the family estate became worse from year to year. Oblomov should have gone and fixed everything himself, but long trips and transfers were unacceptable to him, so he didn’t do it.

Chapter VII

Servant Zakhar was about 50 years old. He was not like the usual servants. He “was both in fear and in reproach.” Zakhar loved to drink, and often took advantage of his owner’s apathy and gullibility to pocket a certain amount of money for himself. Sometimes he came up with gossip about the master, but he did not do it out of malice.

Chapter VIII

After Tarantiev left, Zakhar discovered that Oblomov was again lying on the sofa. He tries to get him to get up, wash himself and start working, but to no avail.

Oblomov indulged in dreams of his family estate and life in it. Afterwards, with difficulty, he finally forced himself to get up and have breakfast.

Another visitor came to him - a neighbor doctor. Oblomov complains to him about his health. A neighbor recommends that he go abroad, otherwise his lifestyle will lead to a stroke in a couple of years.

Oblomov tries to write a letter to the governor, but he fails - he tears up the letter. Zakhar reminds him about bills and moving, but doesn’t get any meaningful action. Oblomov demands that the servant agree to stay and live here, stubbornly not understanding that the move is inevitable.

Chapter IX

Oblomov is having a dream. He gets into amazing world, where he is still a child and lives in Oblomovka. He remembers his mother, nanny, relatives and important events their lives - weddings, births, deaths. Also, in a dream, he is transported to the times of his adolescence. Here we find out what the parents wanted to give Ilya a good education, but their love for their son did not allow this to happen - feeling sorry for him, they often left Ilya at home on school days, so their son did not really learn anything. Parents did not like unnecessary waste - a sofa with stains, threadbare clothes - these things were commonplace in everyday life. This happened not because of lack of money, but because parents were too lazy to make purchases.

Chapter X

While Oblomov was fast asleep, Zakhar went out into the courtyard to the servants. In a conversation with them, he speaks extremely disapprovingly of his master, but, meanwhile, when the servants begin to support his opinion, Zakhara is offended and he begins to praise Oblomov with all his might, “you wouldn’t see such a master in a dream: kind, smart, handsome.”

Chapter XI

At the beginning of five, Zakhar looked into the office and saw that Oblomov was still sleeping. The servant makes a lot of efforts to wake up the master.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Zakhar sighs sadly: “He’s sleeping like an aspen log! Why were you born into the light of God?” Further actions brought more results: “Oblomov suddenly, unexpectedly jumped to his feet and rushed at Zakhar. Zakhar rushed away from him as fast as he could, but on the third step Oblomov sobered up completely from sleep and began to stretch, yawning. “Give me... kvass...” This scene greatly amused the visiting Stolz.

Part two

Chapter I

Stolz was not a purebred German. His mother was Russian. Andrey spent his childhood in parental home. His father always encouraged curiosity in him, never scolded him for the fact that the boy disappeared for half a day and then came back dirty or tattered. The mother, on the contrary, was very upset about this appearance son. Andrei grew up smart and capable of science. From a very young age, his father took him to fields and factories, even gave him special work clothes.

His mother, despite the fact that she considered him an ideal gentleman, did not like the passion for such work and tried to instill in her son a love of poetry and collars.

When Andrei grew up, he was sent abroad for 6 years. After returning, father, German tradition sent my son to independent life– the mother was no longer alive at that time, so there was no one to contradict such actions either.

Chapter II

Stolz was a pedant, which made life much easier and allowed him to stay afloat. “He controlled both sorrows and joys, like the movement of his hands, like the steps of his feet.” I was afraid to indulge in dreams and tried never to do this.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with one of the leading prose writers of the nineteenth century.

He had no ideals (he did not allow them to appear), he was “chastely proud”, something unusual emanated from him, making even timid women embarrassed.
He was connected with Oblomov by childhood memories and school years.

Chapter III

Oblomov’s stories about diseases amuse Stolz, he says that Ilya attacked them. Andrei Ivanovich is amazed by the laziness of his school friend and indifference to the arrangement of his personal life. He is trying to convey to Ilya Ilyich that traveling abroad and moving out of an apartment are not such terrible things, but Oblomov stands his ground. Stolz decides to take on Oblomov, claiming that in a week he will not recognize himself. He orders Zakhar to bring clothes and drags Oblomov out into the light.

Chapter IV

Oblomov is horrified by the week of living according to Stolz’s plan. He is always somewhere, meeting with different people. In the evening, Oblomov complains that from wearing boots for such a long time, his feet itch and hurt. Stolz reproaches his friend for laziness: “Everyone is busy, but you don’t need anything!”

Ilya tells Andrey about his dreams of life in the village, but Stolz calls it some kind of “Oblomovism” and claims that these are unfulfilled desires. Andrei Ivanovich is surprised that Oblomov, despite such affection for the village, does not go there; Ilya Ilyich gives him many reasons why this did not happen, but not a single one that is really compelling.

After the scene where Stolz asks Zakhar to say who Ilya Ilyich is. Andrei explains to Ilya the difference between a gentleman and a master (“A gentleman is such a gentleman, (...) who puts on his stockings himself and takes off his boots”) and points out why Zakhar called him a master. Friends come to the conclusion that it is necessary to travel first abroad, and then to the village.

Chapter V

Taking Stolz’s words “Now or never” as motivation, Oblomov did the incredible: he made himself a passport for a trip to France, bought everything he needed for the trip, and even rarely indulged in his favorite activity - lying in bed. The latter especially surprised Zakhar. Unfortunately, the trip was not destined to come true - Andrei Ivanovich introduced him to Ilyinskaya Olga Sergeevna - Oblomov fell in love. At first, in company with her, he behaves ignorantly. Stolz saves the situation, explaining this behavior by saying that his friend was “lying on the couch.” Over time, Oblomov becomes more gallant in his communication, but he is unable to overcome the timidity that arises with the appearance of a girl. While Olga is performing musical composition, Oblomov says: “I feel... not music... but... love.”

Chapter VI

All Oblomov’s dreams and dreams are occupied by Olga. Meanwhile, he feels awkward after his accidental confession. Olga herself is bored - Stolz has left, and her piano is closed - there is no one to play.

Despite the fact that Andrei Ivanovich can always make her laugh, Olga prefers communicating with Oblomov - he is simpler. The meeting of Olga and Ilya on the street slightly simplifies, but at the same time complicates the relationship between them. Ilya Ilyich claims that the phrase that came out was an accident and Olga needs to forget it. The girl understands perfectly well that Oblomov succumbed to passion and is not angry with him. An unexpected kiss on the palm makes her run away from Oblomov.

Chapter VII

The marriage of Zakhar and Anisya benefited not only the lovers. Now the girl had access to the master’s rooms and helped with all the cleaning - the house became neater and cleaner. Oblomov scolds himself for the kiss, thinks that he could ruin his relationship with Olga. Ilya Ilyich receives an invitation from Marya Mikhailovna, Olga’s aunt.

Chapter VIII

Oblomov spent the whole day with Marya Mikhailovna. He languished in the company of his aunt and Baron Langwagen in the hope of seeing Olga. When this happened, he noted that strange changes had occurred in the girl: she looked at him “without the same curiosity, without affection, but in the same way as others.”
A walk in the park, prescribed by Olga, changed everything. Oblomov learns that his feelings are mutual. "This all is mine!" - he repeats.

Chapter IX

Love transformed both Olga and Ilya. The girl began to become intensely interested in books and development. “You have become prettier at the dacha, Olga,” her aunt told her.” Oblomov has finally gotten rid of his apathy: he willingly reads books (because Olga loves to listen to their retellings), changed the headman and even wrote several letters to the village. He was even ready to go there if it did not mean leaving his beloved. “I'm bored without you; It’s a pity to part with you for a short time, but for a long time it’s painful,” Olga explains her love in response to Ilya’s reproaches for the lack of tenderness.

Chapter X

Oblomov is attacked by the blues - he thinks that Olga does not love him, that she would not have paid attention to him if not for Stolz. Awareness of these, according to Oblomov, truths leads the lover into confusion - he decides to break up with Olga before everything goes too far. To do this, he writes a letter to the girl. “Your present love is not real love, but future love; “It’s just an unconscious need to love,” he writes to her. Oblomov witnesses the reading of this letter. Olga's tears make him doubt the correctness of his decision. The lovers manage to make peace.

Chapter XI

One day they were walking in the evening, and something strange happened to her: it was like some kind of sleepwalking - something tightened in her chest, then silhouettes began to appear.

Olga is also happily married, although sometimes memories of Ilya plunge her into despondency.

Chapter IX

Oblomov's life improved. Agafya’s house is full of food, and his beloved is full of clothes. However, unexpectedly everything changes - Oblomov suffered an apoplexy. Andrei, who came to visit him, hardly recognizes his friend. Ilya asks to leave him forever. He tells Stoltz that Agafya is his wife, and a little boy- a son whom they named Andrei in honor of Stolz. Oblomov asks Stolz not to forget his son. Andrei returns to Olga, the woman also wanted to see Oblomov, but her husband forbade her, explaining that “Oblomovism” was going on there.

Chapter X

5 years later. A lot has changed. Oblomov suffered a second blow and soon died. Agafya was very upset about the loss of her husband. Stolz and Olga took little Andrey to yourself for education. Andrei Ivanovich is still doing business in Oblomovka. Agafya refused Ilya Ilyich’s money, convincing Stolz to save it for her son.

Chapter XI

One day, on the street, a tramp approached Stolz and his literary friend. It turned out that it was Zakhar. After the death of Ilya Ilyich, Ivan Matveevich Mukhoyarov and his family returned to his sister’s house, Tarantiev also does not leave there. There was no life in the house at all. During the cholera epidemic, Anisya died and now Zakhar is begging. Stolz offers to take Zakhar to the village, but he refuses - he wants to be closer to Oblomov’s grave.

The writer expresses bewilderment. Andrei Ivanovich tells him about his friend, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, who “died, disappeared for nothing,” and the reason for this was Oblomovism.

“Oblomov” - a summary of the novel by Ivan Goncharov

5 (100%) 5 votes

A year has passed since Ilya Ilyich’s illness. Pshenitsyna’s brother’s colleague went to the village, but did nothing positive. After his illness, Ilya Ilyich was at first gloomy, then fell into indifference, but gradually “returned to his previous normal life.” Agafya Matveevna took upon herself all the worries about Oblomov’s food. Agafya Matveevna herself did not notice that she had changed; she fell in love with Ilya Ilyich. And her whole life, her whole household received new meaning- for the sake of Ilya Ilyich. For Oblomov, Agafya Matveevna “embodied the ideal of that vast, ocean-like, and inviolable peace of life, the picture of which was indelibly etched on his soul in childhood, under his father’s roof.” That's how they lived. And Oblomov didn’t even notice that he was not living, but vegetating.

Elijah's Day was celebrated in a big way at Pshenitsyna's house. At this time, a stroller drove into the yard. It was Stolz. He reproaches Oblomov for idleness, but Oblomov says that Olga is to blame. Stolz, having examined Oblomov’s home, says that this is the same Oblomovka, only nastier, that it is necessary to move. But Oblomov resists.

Oblomov brags to Stolz about how he settled matters with the village. Stolz is amazed at Ilya Ilyich’s blindness: he does not see that he is being robbed. Stolz forcibly took Oblomov to his place, where he forced him to transfer Oblomovka to himself. Oblomov exclaims that life is touching him, but he wants peace. Stolz says that food is to blame for Oblomov’s life, Oblomovka, where everything “began with the inability to put on stockings and ended with the inability to live.”

The next day, Tarantiev and Ivan Matveevich discussed the affairs that were happening with Oblomov’s estate. The brother said that Stolz tore up the power of attorney to manage the village, since now he himself will manage it. Ivan Matveevich agreed with Tarantiev to intimidate Ilya Ilyich with his relationship with his sister and will demand money for silence.

In the spring, Olga and her aunt left for Switzerland, and Stolz realized that he could no longer live without Olga, but he doubted her feelings. Olga is trying to understand what she feels for Stolz. She decided it was just friendship. But as they communicated, Stolz became her leader. Olga felt ashamed of her former love and her hero. And she began to dream of happiness with Stolz. "Friendship drowned in love."

Stolz decided to talk to Olga about his feelings. He confesses his love to her. Olga is confused. Stolz asks her to tell what happened to her in his absence. She admits that she loved Oblomov. Stolz is amazed, he says that Olga “did not understand herself, Oblomov, or, finally, love.” And Olga told in every detail about her relationship with Oblomov. Stolz says that if he knew that we're talking about about Oblomov, he wouldn’t suffer so much. He explains to Olga that she is waiting for him, but this is not Oblomov. Stolz advises her to marry him, while waiting for him to come. Olga agrees.

A year and a half after Oblomov’s name day, Stolz came to him. Ilya Ilyich is flabby, everything is in disrepair. Agafya Matveevna has lost weight. Why is that? And because all the income that Stolz sends goes to satisfy the claim under the loan letter that Oblomov gave to the hostess. Oblomov finally realized what kind of vice he was in, but it was too late.

Stolz says that the house has become even nastier than last time, but Oblomov turns the conversation to Olga. Stolz reports that he is married to Olga. Olga invites Oblomov to visit her estate. Oblomov refuses. Stolz talks about things in the village that have gone uphill. We sat down to dinner. Over dinner, Oblomov lets slip about the debt under the loan letter. Stolz understands what kind of relationship Olomov has with Pshenitsyna; he thinks that she is robbing him. He tries to knock the letter out of her, but she, weak-willed as always, sends Stolz to his brother. Stolz understands that this woman is not to blame for anything, she only loves Ilya Ilyich very much. Stolz says that tomorrow she must sign a paper stating that Ilya Ilyich does not owe her anything, and before that, not say anything to her brother about the conversation. Pshenitsyna agrees.

The next day, Agafya Matveevna signed the paper with which Stolz came to her brother. But he showed the letter and said that, according to the law, Oblomov owed him. Stolz threatened him that he would not leave it like that.

In the evening of the same day, Ivan Matveyevich told Tarantyev how the general had called him and asked about the case that he and Tarantyev had carried out regarding Oblomov. But Tarantiev says that he had nothing to do with it, he did not participate in this. Ivan Matveevich said that the general forced him to destroy the letter and resign. But Tarantiev does not give up, he now proposes to establish surveillance of Olomov and Pshenitsyna and still extract money.

Stolz came to say goodbye. He warns Olomov that his relationship with Pshenitsyna will not lead to good things. A simple woman, everyday life - all this will negatively affect Oblomov’s life.

Tarantiev came in the evening and cursed Oblomov. But Oblomov did not stand it, he hit his friend in the face and kicked him out of the house. Oblomov and Tarantiev did not see each other again.

Stolz and Olga settled on the seashore. They got up early, had breakfast, he got to work, or they talked and argued for a long time, Olga looked after the children. And Olga was happy, but she still seemed to be missing something. She admitted this to Stoltz. He explained to Olga that she had simply matured to the point where her growth stopped, life opened up completely, there were no more mysteries in it. Olga was interested in how Ilya Ilyich lives. Stolz said that they would soon be in St. Petersburg, and then they would find out. Olga makes her husband promise that he will take her with him to Oblomov.

In Pshenitsyna’s house everything was quiet and measured, everything breathed with the abundance and completeness of the economy. And all this revolved around Ilya Ilyich. And Oblomov himself was a complete and natural reflection of the peace, contentment and silence that reigned in the house.

But everything suddenly changed. One day Oblomov wanted to get up from the sofa and couldn’t, he wanted to utter a word and couldn’t. An apoplexy occurred. The doctor prescribed daily exercise and moderate sleep only at night. And now Oblomov was not given rest, not even allowed to lie down: now Pshenitsyna would assign him work, now she would bring him to entertain Andryusha, then Alekseev would come and talk for a long time with Oblomov.

And one day Stolz arrived. He wants to take Ilya Ilyich away again. But Oblomov says that in any case he will remain here. Stolz says that he came with Olga, but Oblomov asks not to let her in. He admits that Agafya Matveevna became his wife, they have a son, Andrei. And Stolz realized that now Oblomov was completely dead, he was caught up in it. Ilya Ilyich asks Stolz not to leave his son, Stolz promises. He thinks to himself that

This boy will not be dragged into the abyss into which Oblomov fell. Stolz leaves. Olga asks her husband about Oblomov. Stolz replies that he is alive, and there is Oblomovism there.

Five years have passed. Another woman rules in Pshenitsyna’s house. There is a new cook in the kitchen, who reluctantly fulfills Agafya Matveevna’s quiet requests. Ilya Ilyich died from another apoplexy. Pshenitsyna’s brother went broke and settled in his sister’s house. His wife was in charge of everything. Pshenitsyna’s children settled down: the eldest son entered the service, the daughter got married, and the youngest was taken in by Stolz and Olga. After Oblomov’s death, Agafya Matveevna realized that she only lived for the time when Ilya Ilyich was nearby. Stolz invited her to live in the village, sent money, but she sent everything back, asked her to save it for Andryusha, saying that he was a gentleman, he would need it.

One day two gentlemen were walking along the wooden sidewalks: Stolz and his literary friend. Beggars sat along the sidewalk. They recognized Zakhar in one of them. He says that after Oblomov’s death he lost his life and left on his own. I haven’t found a new place, so I’m begging and drinking. He remembers the master and cries that this will never happen again. Stolz calls Zakhar to come to them, to look at Andrya, Zakhar promises. The writer asks Stolz about the master Zakhar was talking about. Stolz replies that this is Oblomov, a man with a pure and clear soul, noble and gentle, who died, disappeared for nothing. The writer asks what was the reason for this? Stolz replies that it is Oblomovism. “Oblomovschina! - the writer repeated with bewilderment. - What it is?" “Now I’ll tell you: let me gather my thoughts and memory. And you write it down: maybe it will be useful to someone.” And he told him what was written here.

Anisya, whom Zakhar married, felt a mutual affection for the hostess, and gradually the household of Oblomov and the widow merged together. Agafya Matvevna feels more and more affection for Oblomov, waits for him and worries when he spends a long time visiting or at the theater, during his illness she forced everyone to walk on tiptoe, and covered the room with carpets. She falls in love with Oblomov because “Ilya Ilyich did not walk like her late husband, college secretary Pshenitsyn, with petty business agility, does not constantly write papers, does not shake with fear that he will be late for his post, does not look at everyone as if he is asking saddle him and ride, but he looks at everyone and everything so boldly and freely, as if he demands submission to himself.” For her, he is a master, who has Zakhar and “three hundred other such Zakhars” in his service. Oblomov himself pays attention to the widow and even offers to go with him to the village. Oblomov celebrates Midsummer's Day with his household, eating and drinking. Suddenly Stolz arrives. He came for a week - “on business, then to the village, then to Kyiv, then God knows where.” Stolz informs Oblomov that Olga, after breaking up with Oblomov, went abroad, and by the fall she is going to her village, says that she knows about everything, that she will not leave Oblomov, she wants to stir him up, since Olga asked him about it - “so that Oblomov did not die at all, he was not buried alive.” Oblomov brags to Stoltz about how he arranged his affairs, that he sent an attorney to the village, and tells how much he now receives. Stolz just clasped his hands and exclaimed: “You’ve been robbed all around! You really are dead, lost.” Stolz says that he will arrange Oblomov’s affairs himself, and will lie to Olga that Oblomov misses her and remembers her.

The next day, Tarantyev and Ivan Matveevich gather in a drinking establishment and complain that Stolz destroyed the power of attorney to conduct Zatertyy’s affairs, and he himself took Oblomov’s estate for rent and that, God forbid, he finds out that the quitrent was actually collected, and Tarantyev’s money , Ivan Matveich and Zaterty divided among themselves. They decide to blackmail Oblomov about his relationship with Agafya Matvevna: demand a promissory note from him for ten thousand, otherwise they will sue him “for misbehavior.” They hope to extract money from him repeatedly in this way. Even earlier, Stolz met Olga and her aunt by chance in Paris; he was surprised that Olga had changed a lot - from a girl she turned into a mature person. For six months, Stolz communicates with them, with surprise discovering more and more amazing features in Olga. He still gives Olga books and notices that she is beginning to “outgrow” him. Stolz falls in love with Olga, is tormented whether she loves him or not, but does not notice the manifestation of feeling - a sudden blush, a flickering gaze. Olga thinks of him as a friend.

She is also trying to sort out her feelings, “began to observe herself and discovered with horror that she was not only ashamed of her past novel, but also of the hero.” Finally, Stolz comes to Olga and admits that he loves her. Olga is indecisive, at first she refuses Stolz, he is going to leave forever, she holds him back. Stolz asks to tell you everything without concealment. After some hesitation, Olga admits that she was in love with Oblomov and talks in detail about everything that happened while Stolz was abroad. Stolz, having learned that the object of Olga’s passion is Oblomov, calms down and says that it was probably not true love. Olga shows Stolz Oblomov’s letter, Stolz points out lines in the letter that directly speak about this: “Your love is not real love, but future love. This is only an unconscious need to love, which, due to a lack of real food, is sometimes expressed in women in caresses for a child, another woman, or simply in tears or hysterical fits. You are mistaken. Before you is not the one you were waiting for, about whom you dreamed. Wait - he will come, and then you will wake up, you will be annoyed and ashamed of your mistake.” Olga feels better, she says that the whole past is “like a dream, as if nothing had happened.” About a year and a half passes after Stolz’s arrival to Oblomov. Oblomov became even more flabby, his robe was even more worn out.

The business conceived by Tarantyev and Ivan Matveyevich was a great success: at the first hint of “scandalous circumstances,” Oblomov gave the owner a loan letter, and now all the income he receives from Oblomovka, which is managed by Stolz, ends up in the pocket of Tarantyev and Ivan Matveyevich. They try to quickly pump money out of Oblomov so that nothing can interfere, and Oblomov finds himself in very cramped circumstances. Agafya Matveevna takes pity on Oblomov and begins selling “pearls received as a dowry, a salop” to feed him. Oblomov finds out about this and, having received money from the village, gives it to her so that she can buy it all back. Stolz arrives and sees Oblomov’s miserable life. Reports that he is married to Olga. Then, seeing that Oblomov has no money, he pins him against the wall, and Oblomov is forced to admit about the “loan letter.” Stoltz immediately demands a receipt from Agafya Matvevna stating that Oblomov does not owe her anything; she, unable to withstand Stoltz’s pressure, signs. A day later, Tarantiev and Ivan Matveevich meet in a drinking establishment and discuss in horror what Stolz has done. Ivan Matveyevich was summoned to the general and asked: “Is it true that you, together with some scoundrel, got the landowner Oblomov drunk and forced him to sign a loan letter?” However, the case does not come to court, since Stolz does not want to sully Oblomov’s name.

But Ivan Matveevich loses his position. Stolz tries to take Oblomov away from the apartment, but he so pitifully begs to leave him “only for a month” that Stolz agrees, finally warning about the landlady: “A simple woman, a dirty life, a suffocating sphere of stupidity, rudeness.” Leaving. The next day Tarantyev comes to Oblomov and begins to shout at him and throw mud at Stoltz. Oblomov, who has become unaccustomed to such treatment during his friendship with the Ilyinskys, loses his self-control, slaps Tarantiev in the face and kicks him out of the house. Stolz visited St. Petersburg only a few times over the following years; he and Olga settled in Odessa in their house, where they lived very happily. Olga was even surprised at such happiness, not understanding why it fell to her lot. Stolz is also “deeply happy with his full, exciting life, in which an unfading spring blossomed, and he jealously, actively, vigilantly cultivated, took care of and cherished it.” They remember Oblomov, Stolz says that they are going to St. Petersburg in the spring, Olga asks to take her to Oblomov. Oblomov still lives with Agafya Matveevna, he “ate appetizingly and a lot, like in Oblomovka, walked and worked a little, also like in Oblomovka. Despite the growing summer, he blithely drank wine and currant vodka and slept more and more carelessly and slept for a long time after dinner.” One day he suffers a blow, but this time everything ends well.

One day Stolz comes to Oblomov. He makes a last attempt to take Oblomov away, but he refuses, saying: “You know me and don’t ask me anymore.” Stolz says that Olga is waiting for him in the carriage, that Oblomov can see her. Oblomov resolutely refuses, sends Stoltz away, asks to leave him forever, admits that the mistress is his wife, and her youngest child is his son, named Andrei in honor of Stoltz. Stolz returns to Olga, she wants to enter the house, but Stolz does not let her in, and when asked what is there, he answers in one word: “Oblomovism.”

Another five years passed. There are many changes in the widow Pshenitsyna’s house. It is run by other people. No Zakhara, no Anisya. Oblomov has been dead for three years now. Her brother, with the help of all sorts of tricks, returned to his previous place, and everything went back to normal, as before Oblomov. Little Andryusha was taken in by Stolz and Olga. Agafya Matveevna refused to receive income from Oblomov’s estate, telling Stoltz to leave this money to Andryusha. One day, together with his literary friend (Goncharov), walking down the street, Stoltz sees Zakhara in the crowd of beggars. Zakhar says that he tried several times to enter the service, but did not fit in anywhere and ended up begging. The writer asks who he is, and Stolz tells the story of Zakhar and Ilya Ilyich Oblomov.
