The Eternal Husband

Volume 12 of 15 in the complete works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, first published in 1870. One of Dostoyevsky's lesser known novels, the story revolves around Velchaninov, who is staying in Saint Petersburg on a legal matter. He meets an old acquaintance, Trusotsky, whose wife he had an affair with some time before, who has since died. Velchaninov, whose life is now intertwined with Trusotsky's, is sought after to assist Trosotsky as he romantically pursues a young woman in this story which is part tragedy and part comedy. Reproduced from surviving English sources, the collection of Dostoyevsky's works is simply bound for a clean and attractive appearance on the shelf, with each volume having a maroon red cover and a quote from the book on the back cover.
