The book includes two immortal novels by Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov, one of the classics of Russian literature. "Ordinary History" (1847) - his debut novel. It unfolds the eternal plot of the collapse of illusions. A young romantic boy comes from the provinces to the capital, full of hope, dreaming of literary fame, friendship and bright love. In St. Petersburg he comes "under the wing" of his uncle, a man of great life experience, who is skeptical of lofty dreams and aspirations. The conflict of two generations, two characters, two worldviews in "An Ordinary Story" is shown with Goncharov's inherent subtle humor and heartfelt lyricism. The novel "Oblomov" (1859) - the pinnacle of creativity IA Goncharov. The writer showed an amazing and paradoxical type of Russian man, making his name a nominal. The novel caused mixed reactions from critics. N. A. Dobrolyubov saw in Oblomov a symbol of the obliquity of Russia and a sign of the times. And, for example, AV Druzhinin wrote: "He is dear to us as an independent and pure nature, quite independent of that scholastic-moral istaskanchnosti that stains the vast majority of people ..." Some interpreted the novel as a satirical work, others noted in it and lyrical beginning, and subtle psychology. This original and one-of-a-kind book is still controversial. "Each of the characters created by Goncharov, - a perfect generalization of human nature," - noted D. S. Merezhkovsky. Goncharov's novels are wonderful examples of Russian prose of the mid-19th century, which have not lost their relevance for modern readers.
