The Eternal Husband, one of DostoevskyâÇÖs 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 wifeâÇÖs 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 DostoevskyâÇÖs dark brilliance and insight into the human heart.áThis Warbler Classics edition includes an afterword by Patrick Maxwell and a detailed biographical timeline.
