The world of

Oblomov

Comfort can become a prison.

A scrollable world for your phone

How you explore Oblomov on Literah

The cast, the places, the objects, the plot, and the author’s own words — each one a card in a feed you scroll on your phone. One at a time, at your pace, in any order you like.

  • Built for your phone. Literah is designed for mobile, so your worlds travel with you. On a laptop it shows a QR code to carry the world to your phone.
  • A feed, not a wall of text. 13 characters, 7 places, 8 objects and 6 plot beats, each its own card with its own illustration.
  • The author’s own words. 38 passages of Oblomov sit in the feed verbatim, exactly as Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov wrote them, each with a short reading of what it is doing. The map is ours; the prose is always the book’s.
  • The same scroll, a better world. The gesture you already give away to feeds, spent on Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov instead.
