      DEDICATION

      For my son, Miles Stanton Morlock

      CAST OF CHARACTERS

      Oblomov, around thirty years of age

      Zakhar, an old serf about fifty years of age

      Alekseyev, a well-dressed man about Oblomov’s age

      Stolz, a vigorous man of about thirty

      Tarantyev, a large, overbearing man

      Olga Sergeyevna, a handsome woman, a few years older than Oblomov

      Madame Pshenitsyn, “Katrinka,” a doll-like woman, with very little intellect, but an excellent housekeeper and mother

      Note: In the nineteenth century the term “Oblomovism” passed into the vocabulary to describe a kind of helpless nobleman who couldn’t “do” anything but live a life of torpor.

      The action takes place in nineteenth-century Russia.
