Oblomov-like heroes in Turkish literature
Abstract
The novel “Oblomov” is one of the most important works of the 19th century and is rightfully considered as Ivan Goncharov’s masterpiece. There is a sharp criticism of the contemporary Russian society in the main character of the story, Ilya Oblomov. Similar motives are reflected in Turkish literature. The main character of Goncharov turns out to be similar to the heroes of Turkish literature in the context of his biography, lifestyle and character traits. Thus, the author of the article, using a common literary typology, brings together the unique works of Russian and Turkish literature.
