This novel centers on the figure of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a member of the dying class of the landed gentry, who spends most of his time lying in bed gazing at life in an apathetic daze, encouraged by his equally lazy servant Zakhar and routinely swindled by his acquaintances. But this torpid existence comes to an end when, spurred on by his crumbling finances, the love of a woman, and the reproaches of his friend, the hardworking Schtoltz, Oblomov finds that he must engage with the real world and face up to his commitments.

If the book said it was abridged, that would be fine. But, it doesn’t.

That said, if you don't feel like listening to the 22 hours of the full version, this is a reasonable substitute, with one more caveat: the Wikipedia entry on Hogarth says, "His 1915 translation of Goncharov's Oblomov 'sounds very British and contains inaccuracies'." (Even more severe criticism is leveled again his translation of Gogol's Dead Souls.)
