During a stifling St Petersburg summer, the rich landowner Velchaninov is haunted by the figure of a man he keeps glimpsing in the street. When he receives a surprise visit from him late at night, he realizes he is an old friend, Trusotsky, whose late wife, Natalya, was his secret lover. As the two men renew their acquaintance, Velchaninov becomes aware that Trusotskys child is, in fact, his own daughter. From then on, the destinies of the two old friends become intertwined as they engage at turns repelled and attracted by each other in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that will lead to a final dramatic confrontation.
Compelling, gripping, darkly humorous, The Eternal Husband composed by the author at the peak of his writing powers, between The Idiot and Devils, and described by Dostoevskys biographer Joseph Frank as 'a small masterpiece' shows Dostoevsky at his best as a ruthless dissector of the quirks and foibles of the human character.
