The Eternal Husband, one of Dostoevsky's lesser-known novels, is thought by many critics to be among his most powerful and perfect works. Pavel Pavlovitch is the "eternal husband," which Velchaninov, his wife's former lover, defines as a buffoon doomed to be nothing more than an appendage to his wife. The psychological duel at the heart of the story drives this tale of obsession, revenge, and the search for redemption. A brutal slow-boiler of escalating confrontation, The Eternal Husband pulses with Dostoevsky's dark brilliance and insight into the human heart. This Warbler Classics edition includes an afterword by Patrick Maxwell and a detailed biographical timeline.
