Description

'The Eternal Husband' is a tragicomic novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky about Trusotsky, a widower who discovers that his wife had an affair with an old friend, Velchaninov.

The story follows Trusotsky and Velchaninov as they embark on a misadventure to find Trusotsky a new wife while the tension between them grows to a violent climax. 'The Eternal Husband' is a critically acclaimed story teeming with romance, betrayal, and death.

Dostoevsky examines the role of women in society in this tale, as the female characters are at once both repressed by society but hold power over men due to their charm and apparent virtue.

This story portrays corrupt characters exploring an equally corrupt world in which no one is clean, but Dostoevsky's incredible character work creates sympathy for those perhaps undeserving in a way that only he can.

This classic novella is both ironic and melancholy and is recommended for fans of Samuel Beckett or Russian literature in general.-
