Reading Oblomov | Alexandria
Read Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov. Redefining laziness, Oblomov's iconic inertia reveals a radical critique of modernity's obsession with constant activity. His philosophical "wise passivity" challenges our equating of worth with productivity - suggesting that deliberate idleness allows deeper contemplation than frantic busyness. Through stillness, we may find the clarity our hyperactive world desperately needs.
